M or F?

So I bought a pair of female ducks from a hatchery. I paid more money to have two females. I’m starting to think one of them is a male though. They are 13 weeks old and for awhile I have noticed they have very different voices. One is very loud and the other sounds like she lost her voice (but always sounded like this). This is the best video I could get today because it’s pouring buckets. Any ideas? Unfortunately if one is a male I will have to get rid of them due to the fact that they free range in a small fenced in back yard with my 8 pullets

I should add there has been no significant or even noticeable size difference. We got them at 2 days old and they’ve always been basically the same exact size.

Well I hear loud quacking couldn't tell if it was coming out of both of them though.

Sure are pretty.

Just one, if you listen carefully you can hear the one softer/squeakier quack. I will try to get a better video tomorrow when the rain subsides. It’s hard to notice because loud quacker frowns out the soft quacker

Very true. any chance of getting a few more females so the drake if that is what it is would have enough girls to keep him busy? I have 2 drakes in a fenced in property with 24 hens and they have their own females an have never messed with the hens.

Unfortunately no, we already have more than we are suppose to I’m hoping I’m wrong and they are both females.

Plus the ducks already pick on the chickens pretty bad. Since we only have 8 chickens I’d be scared if we added more ducks that they’d take over lol.

I'm almost 100% certain that you have a drake.
