Mallard drake?

[The Duck Dad]

so i have two mallards and they are both around 2 1/2 months old. I can't tell if they are both hens or if one is a drake. I was hoping some of you could help. Thanks! The two pics on the top think is a drake and the two pics on the bottom I think is a hen

Voice sexing is a sure thing as @neo71665 said . They are old enough to voice .

Those look old enough to be able to easily tell by sound. Hens will quack loudly while drakes will have a raspy murmur.

IMHO by bill color I'm leaning hens

A quack is a quack. Drakes don't do it.

Those look like my Mallard Hens and if they are quacking then they are Hens. Some are just quieter than others. Darker bills are almost always Hens and lighter olive color ones are almost always Drakes. At least that's how mine have turned out.

I can tell you the second picture is a hen . The bottom photo the beak says drake . Does it have curled feathers in the middle of it's tail ? In most cases the beak on mallard drakes are all green , with the hen tan on the sides . The sex feathers on drakes are in the middle of the tail, close to the oil gland usually they have two . Does this help any ?

The lighter colored one on the bottom quacks REALLY loudly but the darker one on the top still quacks but a lot less and quieter.
