These are photos of our 3 Pekin Ducks. They are 2 months old.
I've tried sexing them (was told to listen to the quack, look at tail feathers, the breast) but I'm still not sure. If I have all males, I plan on selling 2 of them...and getting 2 females in place of the males ASAP (I want duck eggs)
Any help sexing them is much appreciated

We have done that already...and I can't tell the difference. When we pick one up...they all start quacking & I can't hear if there is a difference

If they all start quacking, then maybe they're all females!
 
One thing I do with great success is pick one up and walk it away from the group until I can distinctly hear its sound. (Then do this one by one with the others). You can color-code them wth leg bands to tell who is who, if you don't see any differences- although, I can identify mine no problem, so it's up to you. :D

Bill colour also is different. More Dull is a hen and the greener is a Drake. But the quack is they best way to tell for sure.
