Gender mallards

[Hayliem01]

Pictures provided trying to see is mallards are females or males i don’t think they are full mallards they definitely sound like they have female quacks not raspy like drakes there currently 3 months old but my sister had one that sounded like a female and turned to male with tail curl and all one got its female quack a few days after the other one i believe it’s a little slower developing

Love this hoping they were girls but after my sister saying her mallard changed overnight kinda had me wondering if they can sound like females and turn out boys lol

If there is a male I would be the first one but they look like girls don't quote me on it though

Hi.

A Mallard coloured duck is not sexable by the juvenile plumage...
...so, telling you - just by looking at the pictures - if your ducklings are boys or girls is impossible for us.

For comparison, here is my Mallard/Gray coloured Haut-Volant drakelet :

I could see he was a boy only thanks to his bill colour : indeed, his bill has started to green very early in his life... meaning he was definitively a boy.

Otherwise, I would not have been able to know for sure what gender he was : after all, at the juvenile stage, voice sexing is not actually accurate.

(Do be careful : a bill not lightening early does NOT mean a duckling is not a boy!!)

they definitely sound like they have female quacks not raspy like drakes there currently 3 months old but my sister had one that sounded like a female and turned to male with tail curl and all

I insist about the fact voice sexing is not accurate at the juvenile stage.

I know, because I am really not lucky with voice sexing... so much so I had girls quacking so late I first thought they could only be boys, and boys still quacking like hens even while molting in their adult plumage...
(Last year, I even had an Indian Runner drakelet quacking like a girl at almost 3-months-old!!)

one got its female quack a few days after the other one i believe it’s a little slower developing

That happens, yes...
