Is my Khaki Campbell actually female?

[alyssahockings]

So i’ve always had chickens but am new to being a duck mum. I asked for two female khaki campbell’s at my local farm and co produce store. I took the two (adult) ducks home and soon realised one had a distinctly raspier and quieter quack, had a green head, and a very prominent tail curl. I cannot keep a drake as i am only allowed to have two ducks so unfortunately i needed to change it for a female. So i contacted the produce store and they said to bring ‘him’ back and swap for a female. Went back and the guy chose the duck for me and insisted this new duck was definitely female. Just got home and low and behold, quiet quack, definitely some green tinges on the face, but no tail curl. Can someone help me find out if they are a male or female? Don’t want to have to take another baby back .

Yes that her is a HIM. Are you not allowed to pick? If you want a female khaki you need to pick one that’s solid brown, brown bill and brown feet.

Nope they didn’t let me pick, I think i’ll definitely shop somewhere else next time.

Now you know what you're looking for though.

Just cause there isn’t a curl doesn’t mean it’s a girl. They may not be old enough for a curl yet.

Yea I wouldn’t go there again. They obviously don’t know what they’re talking about and shouldn’t be handing out “sexed” ducks if they don’t know how.
