Rouens- male or female?

[ChickyNicky05]

Hello, I am new to ducks and was wondering if anyone could tell me if I have males or females?

Probably too young to tell. How old are they?

We were told they’re about a month old

I am thinking too young. But, females will quack loud and males will be quieter - whisper and raspy.

Still too young to tell I think. Though you can watch for a curly feather on their butt or a change in bill color. Male rouens will typically have a greenish/yellow bill as they age and female rouens will have a more brownish one. Voice can also be a good way to tell as they age.

I’m posting again because I really thought I had two females but the new chest feathers that are coming in look an awful lot like male feathers..... also they don’t quack! Please help! They are 3 months old-ish. I tried to upload a video to show you the sound they make but it was too big..

I am so sad to find out they are both males! Must be why they were the last two.. the only reason we decided to get ducks was for eggs. Are they going to get along as they grow up or will they fight? I am not sure what to do now... so much time has been put into them, especially when one developed angel wing just after getting them. I am at a loss for what to do. We can’t really get more, but I have become attached and would feel bad giving them up to try again...
