Help with Ducks Breed

[AndreaMaineri]

I have 4 ducks, and I only know that my black is a Muscovy duck. There are 3 yellow ducks, the largest is Max (pic 2)

and he is a male, what breed is he? Aylesbury or runner? Then there are twins (pic 4), similar to Max but we do not know what they are and of boy or girl. Could you help? xAndrea

The white ducks are Pekins. The brown duck is a Khaki Campbell, and as you know the Mallard-looking duck is a Muscovy. How old are they? You can tell their gender when they have most of their feathers, about 8-12 weeks of age. The drakes have a raspy whisper and the females have a distinct loud quack. Females can start to lay eggs when they're about 6-7 months old, but not always. Both genders can mount the others, but it's mainly drakes that do when they want to mate. They can start mating around 16-18 weeks after hatching. A drake gets a curly tail feather when they're about 8-12 weeks old, as well.
