I have 5 delightful ducklings- 1 Pekin drake (?), 1 khaki Campbell hen, and three very quiet (?)s. The Pekin is a little younger than the others, the three in question are ~6 weeks old.
I had been thinking these three were rouens on the assumption that they were more common, but they're smaller than the KC and now that I'm looking for pics to figure out gender I'm thinking I misunderstood the "second eye line" and that these guys don't have it. Two of the three started with a thin white line on their necks, but I don't know now for sure which two they were. I've tried to voice sex them (the KC has been honking for 2 weeks, now), but the only noise they ever make are their happy grunts when I give treats or change the water in their pool. Are they actually mallards? Drakes, hens, or too soon to tell?
