how to tell the sex of blue swedish ducks

[Dorothy1324]

Hi I just bought 2 blue swedish ducks and was told they are both boys but just wondering how to tell they are so sweet and nice it does not really matter what they are just wondering how to tell

Are they adults? If so, the males will have a low raspy quack and a curly tail feather. Females will have a loud quack and no curly feathers.

thanks for the advice neither have a very loud quack and yes they are adults almost 2 i will have to go look at the tail feathers

No problem! One thing, mine are in moult right now so all of my drakes have no curly feather. If you dont see one, dont automatically assume they are females.

well just looked and one curly feather one no curly fether the one without a curly feather has some brown in its back i was going to try to get a pic to post but my batteries in my camera were out we will see i guess they just are so bonded for two drakes but this is my first experience with ducks so maybe drakes do that

I also have 2 drakes that will never be seen apart.
