Hi am new to this page, here is some info about myself and my flock.

Once ducks are over eight/ten weeks old, sexing them by voice becomes very accurate. With all mallard-derived breeds, a male will make a rasping noise, while the females quack. If you're hearing a honk out of one of the ducks, then that would be a female; a male duck will never quack, or honk in its life.

If you're still not sure you may take a look at this link :

Always fill free to post a video of the ducks talking, on the duck forums and someone will be able to let you know what you have:

Hello, and welcome to the BYC community. Pictures might help with the gender ID. Make sure your drake does not start mating the chicken hens. Drakes have penises - roosters do not. Drakes breeding chicken hens can seriously injure/kill them.

Yes I have heard that it is very dangerous for them to mate. I am currently working on a duck lodge right now, planning everything out. I thought they were both females and thought it would be fine... not so much

If they are allowed to free range they might be laying eggs in the yard. Maybe you could try not letting them out for a few days and see if there are any eggs in the coop😊
