Sexing Ducklings

[Kwebber28]

This is a video of my 6 week old pekins (2), buff (1), runner (1), mallard mix (1), and swed (1). I know the runner and buff are females because they are super loud. The mallard looks like a female mallard in pattern but has a slightly green head. It doesn’t make any sounds. I am pretty sure the swed is a male but I am curious how many males people hear in here versus females. I am hoping for a male and female Pekin and 1 other male.

It's hard to tell since they are all peeping at the same time, but the Pekin duckling in the middle with the orange billed definitely sounds like a drake to me.

I am thinking that as well. I am hoping the lighter beak is female.
