Male or female Khaki Campbell

[Rdraney]

can anyone tell me if I have females or males?
They sound the same. Same size. One is lighter color with a more orange bill. The other darker with a blue ish gray bill. Both have a slightly curled tail feather.

Both males. Khaki males have that real dark head, almost black. The curled tail feather you see is the drake feather, a dead giveaway of gender.
Do you have females also?

Yup. That’s what I thought. I got two KC’s and two Mallards this last spring. Only one mallard is female.

The KC’s have been doing a weird swoopy necked high pitched squeal the last few days. Is that a maiting thing or some sort of cough?

Mating thing my Runner drake does this.

You may want to sell/ rehome 2 of your drakes. With only having one female that poor girl will be over mated to say the least, and your males could get aggressive with each other.

Any suggestions on maybe finding someone who would like to swap drakes for females in Salt Lake City?

There is a "in need of free rehoming" thread here on BYC. In the forums. Or maybe put a flyer up at a local feed store.... or post on Facebook

Where am I? Where are you!
It's in this forum.... all states are listed. This may help you connect with more local people for you.
Good luck! If I wasn't so far away I'd take one of your males in a heartbeat!
