Need help sexing welsh harlequin ducklings!

[thatgirlmaude]

They are all so stinking cute! I love new ducklings. I have 3 welshies that I hatched last spring (all drakes) and their bills looked like # 1 & 2. #3 could go either way. Seems light enough to be a girl but that large patch of dark towards the face could mean a drake. You're so lucky to have at least 1 girl in the mix! I was hoping for a girl...my guys are pretty cool though I attached a pic of one of my guys the day they hatched. Not the best pic of his bill bc of the glare, but you can see how he had that pink in the center. None of mine had a solid black bill like your #5. I wish they were all that easy to sex!!

What a cutie! We actually had 13 hatch and 9 of them are definitely male, only those first 3 were questionable and only the one seems to definitely be female. I know their bills change color so I have little leg bands on them and now it’s just a waiting game.

I have silver, sexed from the hatchery and their bills matched their genders until it faded.

Which hatchery did you get yours from?

Meyer but they actually came from Metzer.
