How many roosters and drakes?

I'm thinking that I have 3 drakes and a female based on neck size and quack. But these ducks don't quack the same as other breeds. Their parents are both quiet. But three are the same raspy quack.

My sure tell is when they get that drake feather

Chickens, first year for chickens but I think 2 of the buffs are roosters because they have bigger red waddles. Is this a sign yet?

They were born November 7

All of them.

Those photos just aren't clear enough to tell anything about the chickens, and it really helps to have individual photos.

For the ducks, there are sound videos on Youtube that play the difference in voices between males and females. Females are the ones that make the short, loud calls. They make other sounds as well, but they are the only ones that make that call. Males have more of a constant chatter, low and weird sounding. I guess you could say raspy, but to me it's kind of a muffled sound.

Yeah.im pretty sure 3 drakes and 1 female. I've had ducks for a while so I feel pretty confident in my conclusion.


I know the typical female quack but their mom is not as noisy as females I've had before. I've never heard her quack. So I wonder if this breed is less quacky? Lol

Ok! I will try to get more pictures and make a new post.
