help sexing my calls (video)

[MNmommy]

These are my 2 calls and I think they are both males but wanted to make sure since I'm new to ducks. They are 3 month old. Hope this is a good enough video to try to hear them. They have adopted my lone muscovy the other muscovy was killed. I don't think I will be able to keep him due to the size difference but for now he is just 5-6 weeks old and they all get along.

I see the video needs to be processed so check back in a few

sounds raspy like boys to me

 

[DuckFanatic]

Yeah I think boys

I think the bigger one might be a muscovy?

 

[dixygirl]

I see 2 females because neither has a curly Q drake feather

at what age do they get that curly feather???

 

[DuckFanatic]

Oh duh... I hadn't watched the whole video

.. but yeah I think your calls are definitely boys.. I have a definite drake and he's almost 4 months old and he doesn't have his drake feather yet..

That was so cute. They were all like, what is that thing, get it away.. get it away!

Could you post some pictures of your pond? Do you have a filter for it? Does it do a good job keeping it clean?

that is a little bog we have and they prefer that. It doesn't have a filter on it so it gets a little mucky but we just shopvac it every so often and fill it back up again. Maybe once every 2 weeks. We have a little pump in it and the water circulates and trickles off the rock just for noise and an added feature. We also have a big pond with koi and a filter/skimmer but they like that little bog!!! Dh is still putting rocks along the waterfalls we redid it this spring after 10 years the rocks were starting to fall and look sloppy. Everytime I try to put them in the big pond they jump out and go running like the water is burning them!!!
