Rouen Drakes or Hens?????

[squirrelangel]

I got 5 Rouen ducks from Ace Hardware. They were straight run. I have been waiting for them to get old enough to tell their sex. What are ypur thoughts? I am begining to think they are all the same. The only difference I have notice is a couple are considerably heavier that the others.

can you post pictures of the tops of their tails? if they are old enough you should be able to tell by the coloring (NOT by drake curl, that comes later in 2-3 more months)

So far, all pictured look female to me!
I could be wrong though, I always sex ducks by the drake feather haha!

I am new to this, but I was thinking all drakes.

I think it is a little too early to tell. Are any quacking?

seems like their voice is changing, but wouldn't call it a quack.

Young female quacks are funny. To me they sound lower, deeper, and louder than normal before they become a full quack. Their voices usually change earlier than drakes. If you have boys, they get raspy sort of like they have a sore throat. If I had to guess, I would say you have all drakes. I hope I’m guessing wrong.
