Sexing a rouen duck

[Vanillaandbean]

So not that long ago I posted something about my Rouen duck aka bean and I already am suspecting that it’s a male but I’m seeing a green dot on its head please tell me if y’all see it too and it’s bill color is green with some yellow

How old? Does it quack or sound raspy?

They are 9 weeks turning 10 Tuesday and it sounds raspy

I have some hens that have little green feathers on their head, so I don't think that always means male.
If you are hearing raspy sounds then you've got a drake. You can upload a video to YouTube and post the link here so we can listen.

100% male. I see that yellow bill of his! And you can see he’s starting to molt into his adult feathers near the base of his bill. This dark line here

Green spot isn’t always a sex indicator though, yes.

Here’s a better photo of his head and his bill

He looks just like the two that I bought from TSC that were a buck a duck because the Easter sale days were over and he was getting rid of them. I got two drakes that are now 10 weeks old, have the green bills and raspy voices. They have the green sheen on their heads and there is not doubt that they are drakes too.

Hi, these are my 2 Rouen ducklings, only 9 weeks old. I think the one with the green bill is a drake, he whistles- no quack. The one with the yellow bill quacks loudly. Also, the green one is bigger and growing faster the other. They are both pleasant and friendly.

Yep, orange bill is a hen, greenish bill is a drake. Gorgeous couple
