Rouen ducklings question.

[Crystal37]

Could someone please tell me what age Rouen ducklings start to quack?
We got two Swedish black ducklings about 3 weeks ago I guess. Two days later we got a Rouen and a Welsh Harlequin (that's growing up to be a fawn and white runner). They were all very close in size when we got them. The Rouen has now obviously out grown the rest and has started to quack.
Now I'm wondering if they aren't as close in age as I thought? It's not really a big deal, I'm just curious. Thank you in advance.

They can begin to Quack by around 3 to 8 weeks but still peep too. Some like the sound of their own voice and Quack a lot..

My White Layers started to quack at the end of their second week.

How old would you guess them to be? The one in the back no longer peeps. I think it's a female based on her quack. There is one other one starting to "quack" but doesn't sound anything like this one so I'm thinking it's a male?

The duckling in the front definitely looks like a "drakeling" with the dark head and the white bib. I guess they are about four weeks old.

The one in the front is suppose to be a black Swedish. The one in the back is suppose to be a Rouen. I appreciate your reply, but I hope you're wrong. My other Swedish is the one I believe is a male based on his "quack". If you're right and I'm right about the others, I have 3 drakes and 1 duck. .

So you should order some additional female ducklings immediately!

Already thinking about it. I just have to decide what kind.
