I am very new to call ducks, and I have recently had a hatch of 8 ducklings. The parents were sold to me as snowy call ducks. The babies are a month now and losing their duckling fluff, and some interesting colours are popping up. Are they snowy as well? And can it help tell their gender by the colouring of their head? I know the males get darker colouring. Opinions on colouring and gender are very much wanted! Thanks:)

I’m not sure if the Dad is considered Snowy or not, looks like he has a blue gene. Mom seems a bit light too, I’m not sure. I’m not the best with color ID.

Males tend to get dark heads and solid, pale bills, yes.. Just guessing, I’d say A & C male, B & D female, but it is early.
I would go by voice right now, personally. Females will get a honk to start, developing into a loud quack. Males a raspy peep, developing into a low rasp.
