Khaki Campbell male or female?

[SelfSufficientMe]

Hello. I’m inquiring about whether I have two males or females or one of each. This my my first time with ducks. The lady I messaged said that she had females but when I showed up all of the ducks looked very similar. Some had more green than others and all had tail feathers. She started going on about how people say there’s different ways to sex them like tail feathers and temperament etc. anyhow I picked out the only two without green yet their heads are still dark.

Now, one acts skittish and the other holds its poster higher. Also, one had tail feather curls and one doesn’t. Now that I’ve done some research, I feel like I may have one of each. I plan on watching them to see if either tries to mate the another. The big issue I have is my chickens. I do not want the drakes to harm my hens.

Can anyone assist in sexing. I do not know ages, but I just messaged the woman and asked so I’ll update my post. **Edit** 10 months old. Thanks!

What kind of noises are they making? females quack loud drakes have a raspy voice like a heavy chain smoker.

Darker heads than the body, darker feathers on the back, greenish bills, more orange on the legs, feather tail curl and raspy instead of loud quack indicates male. Is this what you are seeing and hearing?

I do not think it’s raspy but I’ll watch some videos to get an idea. I posted a video of them making noise. Can you see it?

That’s defiantly drakes! Do you have other ducks?

Definitely one has orange feet, curl feather, and darker head with a hint of green coming in. I feel like drake. The other has no curl feather and dark head. Smaller and skittish than the first. I feel like the lady took advantage that I’m new to ducks. I told her their heads looked too dark and she assured me that some hens have dark heads. I feel very foolish.

Well you could go get them females at least 3-4 each?
That was awful if she knew she was selling you drakes. But drakes can live together with out females they are very handsome boys

No. I have 20 chickens (hens).

Thanks. I don’t care to have drakes. I’ll rehome them. I’ll get sexed chicks.

I bought my Khaki Campbells sexed so I had a better chance of getting all females. I don't want males either.
