Male or Female Ducks

[CayugaJana]

@Jenn Spencer here is a thread to post your pictures and videos of your ducks. I made you a new thread so that if someone reads the muscovy thread down the road, they won’t get confused with mallard vs muscovy traits.

Here is my female cayuga ducklings vs the adults.

Here are some juvenile male peeps before they get their raspy voice.

Post a video of the sounds they make and we can definitely tell you which is which. If they don’t make a lot of noise, pick them up and gently giggle them.

Ok so this is my paddling of ducks. Two Cayuga, two buff orpington and a khaki Campbell. All but Momo, the khaki campbell, were hatched about April 13. Momo hatched about a week later.
I am hoping to positively identify which ones are male and which are female Any help is appreciated! We are not allowed more ducks, so duckies need to separate before too long.
Thank you in advance!

This first duck is Graham, who I think is a girl because of her brownish pinkish bill. Her legs are orange.


The second one is Eggsy, also a buff orpington , but his (her?) bill is orange along with his feet. Both Graham and have light brownish heads and chests.


The third is Momo , the khaki campbell, I am pretty sure she's a girl as she comes out with a loud squawk quack, but I was wondering because I thought females had brown legs and hers are turning more orange. Also she's starting to get a blue shimmery stripe on her wings.


The final two are the Cayugas. Groningen is very shimmering with blue and green, and is bigger than Inky, who is more black with just a little shimmer.the pictures don't really do justice to the colors.


The first two pictures are groningen who I think is the male.
The next is inky who I think is female.

You can see only groningen's back in this one and most of inky, but there is a better comparison of color.


Any help is appreciated!!!
I am still working on recording their sounds. I tried picking one up at a time and separating from the others, trying to get the one I was carrying to make some sort of sound, but the only ones talking were the ones following us on the ground.
Contrary little things thank you for your help!

How old are the cayugas again?

 

[Jenn Spencer]

They were hatched about April 13, about 11 weeks.

How many of them quack loud, even if every now and again?

Thank you! I like them myself, but they're my peeps, I'm a bit biased.

Not sure. Mostly they do the chattering sounds. I'm not quite sure how to post video as when I try it says the file is too big.

I'm going to try again. Not giving up!
