Sexing Ducks

[TheAmundsons]

Hi! We have these two ducks, I believe they’re about 13 weeks old (+/- a week) and we’re just hoping someone could tell us if either is a drake, as well as what breed they could be! Thanks! sorry the pictures aren’t super great

Top one looks like a Peking and bottom one looks like a khaki Campbell. I Can’t tell sex unless you can hear them “speak” or until one gets the drake curl feathers on its tail.

They are very cute.

What are some ways to differentiate if they’re a drake or not?

 

[chickens really]

Hens Quack loud and Drakes are Raspy once they develop voice. Drakes will get a Drake curl after the juvenile molt and lots get a ring of white around the neck in Mallard derived Birds..Dark heads in Green.

Actually that looks like a Rouen and if you can send a picture out in natural light?

If you pick up a Duck and walk away from its friends it will Quack loud if a Hen or just Rasp if a Drake...
