Hoovers golden 300

[Bitofablonde]

Just curious if anyone has any hoovers golden 300 females who have a small amount of green iridescence on their heads??

If they didn't quack so loud I would for sure say mine are male but alas I can hear them from inside the house at times lol they are about 11 Weeks now and going through their first molt.

Mine are still babies, but black females get iridescent too, so I'd assume it's normal for some to get it even if they're female

have you picked up each one individually and walked away with it from the others, and listened for the quacking?

I haven't actually, but based off of other ducks I've had in the past these are quacks not the rasps of males. Which I have 2 of currently.

ahhh k i see i just thought you were listening from far away so maybe didn’t know which ones were doing the loud quacks lol

oh haha, I see what you mean!
The 2 brown ones quack
Then I have 1 cayuga who is raspy and 1 unknown breed (black with white on chest, but not solid white like a swedish) that is also raspy.

The 300s are supposed to be sexlinked
