i need some help from a duck expert

[jojoncandie]

i have four ducks i bought a tsc as a strait run and three turned out to be pekin's and by the looks all females. but now i also got a suprise duck that turned out nothing like them. i think it may be a saxony but im not shure and even if it is male or female because as far as i can tell there a two lil feathers curled slightly outward off its tail feathers but im not shure if its a drake or not because im not shure of its breed lol. they are all 9 weeks old. can any body help a brother out lol.

They are beautiful ducks, but I'm thinking at 9 weeks it's a bit early to be seeing the curl, more like 4months on,

oh ok thanks. any geusses on the breed of the brownish one

 

[Miss Lydia]

I am not expert on other breeds since I have only had Muscovy, but looking on Feathersite she does look Saxony and looks to have a girlie face. but in the next few months that can change.

What about Buff Orpington?



Both of these are buffs.

Regarding gender, does the duck quack or mumble?

Buffs yes that is what she looks like

 

[jojoncandie]

kinda does look like a buff huh. it does have a blueish looking stripe on each wing towards the ends. and as far as the quack or mumble it doesnt quack like my 3 pekins do, and they a loud quackers, but instead it sorta sounds like a weezing or wisp..never heard one quack

Sounds like a drake.
