Makes it more fun to keep guessing till you know for sure.  Precious no matter what. 

Yes it does...I keep going back n forth about who's male n female too.

Won't be long before those quacks or lack of quacks will let you know.

Yes my Pekin quacks now and is very chatty...I think it's female but since don't have another Pekin to compare I'm still not 100 on that. A couple of the others are much quieter than rest so I'm thinking they may be boys,but we shall see

Thanx

. Got another question for y'all. I have a Mallard or Rouen not sure which yet. And it's too young to tell gender, but in sun today I noticed green sheen to top of head...Do females have that. Posting pic but hard to see true color in pic. But it's the spot on top head that looks a bit different in pic...Can only tell in sunlight... Otherwise just looks wet or flattened feathers.

I'd say its too early to tell. Here is a pic of my mallards at 1 month then 1.5 months and the only difference (that i can now see) is the blue feathers on the male at 1.5 months



The two on the left, one male one female. No real color differentiation, idk which is which!



Female on left (momma), Male on right (tigger) you can see his blue feather and she doesn't quite have them.



This is almost 3 months his coloring is changing and hers is still the same but she did develop the blue feathers. (and our pekin Donald)

OH found a 2 month pic where you can see their heads better!



(Daffy and Donald on the left) Tigger (male) is on the left you can see his feathers are starting to change and Momma is on the right both have the green head "sheen"

OH found a 2 month pic where you can see their heads better! Thank you..That helped I wasn't sure if the females would have any green sheen to their head. I know they don't get the recognizable green head like males but wasn't sure bout the little bit of it showing in sun. I really think gonna turn out female cuz she's kinda loud but still too young to know for sure. Just starting to get blue on side. (Daffy and Donald on the left) Tigger (male) is on the left you can see his feathers are starting to change and Momma is on the right both have the green head "sheen"

Lol..Sounds like me...I think he's started tuning me out now...The glazed look gives it away.

Will our ducks eat celery? I have an abundance of it and just wondered. Haven't tried it yet.
