Those are all females, my drakes in the pics are immature and do not have their greenheads yet. They do now though.

tmb3fan I also have Rouen ducks as of today I have 10, 4 Drakes and 6 ducks

The largest in front is the older drake his head is not green covered, as the others are now they are just 9 months old he is 2 years old. Before they show their curly tail feathers, their gray shirts and green, you can tell which are boys by the color of their beaks. From your photo I would besafe saying you have all girls. The Boys have a greenish color to their beaks, the girls have a yellowish orange color to thei beaks and the girls are must more verbal. The boys almost sound like they are whispering or that they are horse. The girls are loud and quack, quack, quack. Good luck with your girls I have a coupe of boys that need a new home hint hint

So pretty! I thought I couldn't have ducks either but a couple of Walmart kiddie pools later and I've got two pairs. Hoping for eggs someday!

Well so far my girls started laying last month and I now have over a dozen and half eggs in the fridge. They are great to bake with and they make very fluffy scrambled eggs and omlets. I am not going to let them set until spring. Then I may offer some for shipping also, if anyone would be interested. Henrietta23 What type of ducks did you get ?

No I don't mind it that bad, a couple of the boys might be ending up on a dinner plate - they're a little more aggresive than I'd like. They follow the dog around and pick on her ALL the time.
