Saxony ducklings - ducks or drakes?

New to ducklings! They are all quacking, it's hard to tell who's making what noise though! Any experts able to have a guess as to boys or girls?? Thanks

How old are they? If they're young their voices are going to be your best bet

At that age you won't be able to visually sex them You might however be able to start to sex them by voice.

I thought so, patience is not my strongest point!! Did the link work? They're such pretty ducks

It did and they are Saxonies are gorgeous. If I wasn't devoted to Welsh Harlequins I'd look into getting some.

I just Googled them, you're right the Welsh harlequins are lovely!

Another question, do the drakes take longer to develop their adult noise? All I can hear is quacks, honks and baby cheeps!
