Help me sex my new ducklings and confirm what breed my ducklings are

[Blue is my chicken]

Hi
I have khaki cambles and as ducklings they were brown
Khaki basically means brown so you would not get black or black and white ducks if you bred 2 pure khaki cambles
I think your black with a white bib looks like a black Swedish duck

As for gender, female voices are the traditional loud quack, it is the noise you hear when you see ducks
Male voices are quiet raspy quacks
In the second video I could hear a female voice
Males also develop drake feathers which is a curled feather on their tail but they don't get that till they are older
This is my male call duck buttercup I circled his drake feathers (I put him up their so I could get a good picture of him)

I have found that females develop their voices first and males are second, or at least that is the case with my call ducks

Hope this helps

Yeah. you can narrow it down to who's a male by if they're not quacking (or making quack-peeps) by 8-10 weeks.

Hi

I could tell they're not khaki Campbells. I think one of them still could be Khaki Campbell as it is brown. The weird thing is that I bought all from the same cage, and the shop said they're "egg ducks", and I asked some other shops and they said that in Malaysia, when they say egg duck, they mean Khaki Campbell. I asked that shop as well, he said he also buys them with the same name so he doesn't know what they're called, but he showed me their pictures when adult supposedly, and they were pictures of Khaki Campbell, but maybe it's a mix of many breeds that are all kept for eggs.

I think your black with a white bib looks like a black Swedish duck

I thought that when it was younger, as it had a yellow bib at that time, but does a black swedish get blue feathers on its wings? Because the same one now has blue feathers or maybe green I am not so sure, on the wings.

I think that the breeds would either be Dark Campbells (which aren't supposed to get blue feathers), or black swedish like you said (I don't think they should have blue feathers), or Cayuga, and one of them, which is brown, could be Khaki Campbell.

As for gender, female voices are the traditional loud quack, it is the noise you hear when you see ducks

Yeah I know that, but first of all I have never had ducks before (except muscovy), and I can't remember the exact sound from the times I have seen them in parks, but I listened in videos,
And secondly, their sound is not any of those sounds because I think it's a mixture between a whistle and the sound as it is not so clear yet.

Male voices are quiet raspy quacks
In the second video I could hear a female voice

Thank you very much. If that's the case, it means that most likely, if I hold one of them and it makes the sound that was in the video other than whistling, then it is probably female. (It's the only sound I hear, the rest still whistles only)

Males also develop drake feathers which is a curled feather on their tail but they don't get that till they are older

Yes, I knew that, and I noticed the brown one is getting its tail larger and so I think if it was a male, then it could get that not so far later as its tail is growing quickly.

This is my male call duck buttercup I circled his drake feathers (I put him up their so I could get a good picture of him)

That actually confirms more that the ones with this new sound are females.

Hope this helps

Thank you very much. It was so helpful.

They're actually 1 month old right now. I think that's how I will tell which is male and which is female so later I will go to them and try to see which one sounds like what.

Thank you.

How they grow so fast! Yes, that's probably the easiest way, but a long wait (well it feels long) I'm currently sexing my own ducklings (never had this breed so a bit tricky lol)

Thank you.

All good! Will have to tell us what they are breeds/genders when they are older lol!

Actually I bought them one month ago, and they seemed to be 1 or 2 weeks old at that time.

Nice. What breeds are your ducklings? (I don't think anyone would mind seeing some pictures)
Here is one of mine, this picture is so old I think it was only one week or less after I bought it:

Don't worry about that

Oh ok!

One of them I bred, but the pther two (whuch are tricky to sex!) are an off-breed welsh harlequin. We bought them from our local hatchery so they're no pure. this was when they where little:

So cute!!

These pictures reminded me of these three little guys:

Except, they're not so little anymore:

These are muscovies, and they're the first ducks I ever bought, which are currently 4.5 months.

I am not sure how old were they at the time of this photo.

So here's some new videos I got seperately for each duckling @DaffytheDuck20 , @Blue is my chicken :

So the first one I was only able to catch like 3 seconds as it ran away after that. Warning: The video starts with a loud sound because the cockerel was crowing:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/12VO1y07_1td1D_6nSOgaMV5lzgb0H5mN/view?usp=drivesdk

That's all I got from the first one, but I could hear it making that sound, so I am guessing it's a female.

The second one is the brown one, which I think could be Khaki Campbell. I noticed first that its bill color changed, as it used to be black, and now it became like this:

Here is the video I caught of it:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/12crhx5vLm92TjipFjhdWaycI1fI7OUs5/view?usp=drivesdk

The third one, here is the video:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/12dJV4_BYzenRC2e64wVDVvw_4iMhY9FD/view?usp=drivesdk

It has nice weird colouring on its wings and under.

The fourth one, I have two, one of them I thought I opened my camera but I was taking the video while it wasn't showing anything but the sound was there, and another one was a video. I will put the video first:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/12fBEgfFdGCVRjAMUq7AfCczAdnJ1V9f0/view?usp=drivesdk

This one was the sound from the same duckling as well:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/12hL4TwbTig2smJKuU_2IiadUnAgSiX_o/view?usp=drivesdk

The final fifth one, I took two videos:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/12wrQ9SgkfVaQCDyz7Pa9L0U1FSZ_VbnK/view?usp=drivesdk

And the second video:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/12zaX-gowqud6GAa15jY1_yGgBWwTTgz0/view?usp=drivesdk

I hope the videos are clear enough. This last one confused me, because its making the sound of whistling most of the time, but sometimes make the other sound. It has some blue color on its face and on its wings.

first video = female
second video = hard to tell maybe wait a bit longer
third video = hard to tell but i think i heard potential quacking, and seems to be getting mallard like feathers on its back
fourth video = hard to tell but in the sound only video potential quacking
fifth video = i would guess male as still peeping

I could tell they're not khaki Campbells. I think one of them still could be Khaki Campbell as it is brown. The weird thing is that I bought all from the same cage, and the shop said they're "egg ducks", and I asked some other shops and they said that in Malaysia, when they say egg duck, they mean Khaki Campbell.

egg duck could mean duck eggs so any random mix of duck breeds
also the person you bought the ducklings from might be lying or the person who sold the eggs might be lying
when i am buying ducklings i like to meet the parents so if the person selling the ducklings are not the parents owners then i probably would go for someone else but that is just me, and you already have them (not trying to be rude or anything just something thought might be handy for new duck parents)

I thought that when it was younger, as it had a yellow bib at that time, but does a black swedish get blue feathers on its wings? Because the same one now has blue feathers or maybe green I am not so sure, on the wings.

Their is lots of good pictures and information of Swedish ducks here
They do seem to have blue green feathers

Hope it helps
