I have 4 ducks I got from tractor supply and they are 6 and 7 weeks old. I am new to ducks had a few questions.

1. What breeds do I have? I am thinking Ancona and Rouen but I am not sure.

2. Can anyone determine their sex?

Based off my research the brown ones are 1 male and 1 female. Gosh I hope I am right. I am clueless on the other 2.

Not their normal enclosure by they way! Just a little holding pen while I do maintenance.

It looks like you have Rouen and magpies. In order to sex them at this age, you will have to do it by voice. Females are the loud quack, while drakes are a raspy voice that is quieter. You can always post a video and we can try and help you identify them.

When they go through their adult molt in few weeks, drakes will get their tail curl and head coloring in the Rouen.
