Hi I am dabbling in ducks some for eggs and some to eat. I'm not a monster I'm practical. I have a Khaki Campbell that more or less is the most entertaining and will probably keep regardless of gender (I mean you can't not smile at the squat run zoomies like a dog). I have been trying to determine as it's losing it's fuzz if it will be a girl or boy in the end. I'm leaning towards girl but figured why not ask more duck people. There is a quack type sound but I'm not sure if it's a quack or the half duck sound that a drake makes. Either way this is one of my two favorite temperaments and is protected from the dinner table. Just would be a bonus to get eggs. I only have 5 ducks and 2 have names a pekin named Daffy and this Khaki here named Darkwing. Yes the color schemes are mixed more for the respective characters but hey if you're kids are happy who cares. Hoping for more insight on color leaning towards hen. Thank you for any responses!!

I've been hoping so, this one is particularly fun to watch and feed. Never seen any bird move as fast on two feet as Darkwing when there is either a worm or the zoomies going on.
 
Update on the ducks, darkwing my Khaki is 100% quacking as is the first pekin I got with her for company. Also of the 3 extra 1 quacks (3 girls) two are rasping and not quacking. Spouse is all about eating some drakes. I told him there is still time for them to quack.:lol:
