Saxony duck gender

[Birdnubie]

My two saxony ducks are about 6 weeks old. Can you tell their gender at this age and how? I am hoping for a mating pair. Their voices have not changed into distinct quacks or raspy sounds yet. Thank you.

Still a little to soon to tell. You should be able to voice sex them when they are 8 weeks old. At 10-12 weeks old, drakes will start developing their curly tail feathers. Feel free to post a video (needs to be uploaded to another site, e.g., Youtube, then posted here) when the time comes.

That last photo is adorable.

It looks (and sounds) like I have a male and female! Yay! The duck makes very definite quacking sounds and the drake is raspy. And his male coloring is starting to come in. No tail curl yet though. They have two kiddie pools but she prefers to sit in the smaller water containers.

Good for you! I'm in the same predicament - will have to wait and see. How old are your ducks now?
