Hi :welcome

Glad you could join the flock! I'm not a duck expert but I have to say they look lovely ducks that you have there! Here's the link for the duck section of the forum I'm sure if you post your pic and question over there the experts will be able to help you https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/42/ducks

Hope you enjoy BYC :frow

Great to have you aboard and welcome to our flock!

We're glad to have you.

There are two easy methods usually used to tell gender in ducks:

  • Voice. For most breeds of ducks, the males will make dry, raspy, relatively quiet noises. The females are the ones that quack loudly.
  • Sex-Feathers. Male ducks usually develop so called sex-feathers, or drake feathers on top of their tail. These feathers are small and curled. Females do not get them.

Another way to sex ducks is vent sexing, but that can be more complicated.
