These guys are a little over three months old and I thought they were both girls due to there coloring but one has a raspy voice and a green bill. Is one a boy?
Thanks

Sounds and looks like Mr. raspy green bill is a boy! Compared to the other, one has a female bill, yellow and black and the other has a male bill, dark green. Very pretty ducks!

I have noticed that Rouens tend to get their male coloring later than mallards. And, I agree with what others have said, one looks to be a boy and the other a girl.
 
For a while the ducklings will all look like girls. Then the males get their "big boy" feathers

This fall he will be fully colored, then later next year when summer rolls around again he will go into eclipse plumage and look like a girl again.
