Gender please

Thank you the black and white is a little bigger so I was hopeing that it was a girl

By this age, if it was male there would be BIG difference in size. So, barring something unusual (stunted growth, early nutritional problems) I'd say you have 2 girls.

For size comparison. Here is a pic of some of mine when they were about 4 months old, drake at left.



And about 1.5 months ago, about 9 months old. Drake in the foreground, duck behind the ducklings.

They both look female to me, when they hatched in June a drake would now unmistakebly look like one. But to be sure: Do they both chirp or is the black and white one making noise like a steam engine, huffing and hissing? Is it throwing its head back and forth and frequently showing its crest? In that case, it would be a drake.

I haven't seen he/she throwing the head back and forth or showing the chest

 

[jdywntr]

Both my ducks and drake do the head moving and put their crests up. Usually only the drakes will hiss but, in my experience, not until they are a little older.

My drake shows this kind of behaviour more often than my duck but it's true it is not excluselively for the males.

I haven't heard them make any noise yet every time I go out there they stay quiet. I tried weighing the black and white one it was very hard to do but I believe she weighed about 7 pounds

They're female.
