Runners or khakis, pekin or white layer?

Alright we're 4 weeks in and they are feathering in fast. It's amazing how quickly they transform. Marinette (head turning dark, starting with a stripe down the middle) has begun making quack like noises, and occasionally Ladybug (blue) has been making similar sounds though far less often, so looking like 2 girls, 1 boy.

. Here's a video:

A little late but here's 5 weeks. I definitely have 1 female: she's quacking like a champ. She's the brown with the lighter tail feathers. I'm fairly certain the one with the darker tail feathers is a male, and then the blue runner is still a mystery. I'm thinking he might be a boy lately though because he's so quiet all the time. Haha that means I've been pulling males at a rate of about 80 percent . A neighbor has some

6 week old ducklings that I'm looking into acquiring later this week to fill out my ranks a bit with some girls. As for my brown ducks: are we still thinking chocolate runner, or khaki campbells?

The browns look like KCs to me!

So we're at six weeks (well, a little over) and they are starting to fill out. At this point I was realizing I likely have 3 boys to 2 girls and was getting pretty concerned for the future. A local person posted on the local facebook page that their ducks had hidden a nest that they'd found too late and as a result they had ducklings they needed to rehome. I went and picked up two 7-week old cayugas, and 1 cayuga cross (the thicker blue, beautiful duck: mother could be a runner or rouen). They were all quacking well so my m/f ratio is slightly better, but I know I'll eventually have to part with at least one boy which breaks my heart. Coincidently I now have 2 ducks of each color. Anyway here's my flock:
