Ok, so my "boy" Jasper is 3 weeks old now. When he hatched I thought he was obviously a boy, but since he was the only one to hatch I didn't have any comparison. I have 3 others that are 1 week younger and the boys and girls were VERY obvious in that bunch. I sold the 5 boys I got and kept the 3 girls thinking I'd have a quad right?

WELL, Jasper has been having mini honks and this morning I think I heard QUACK-PEEPS. I can't record them fast enough though, argh! When I go over to him he continues his raspy peep noise, it's only when he's calling for me that I hear the other noises.

So, what do you think? Here's a picture of him as a day old, compared to a male/female pair from the other hatch.




Here's the only video I was able to get this morning that sounded a little odd. I couldn't get the quack sound but I'll try later if I hear it!
 
Drakes have a raspy, whispering quack; while females are loud and clear. From the video i think its a high possibility that is a female.
