So we had purchased two khaki Campbell ducklings from rural king back in May of 2015. They were actually an older group so they were already almost a month old so they are around 5 months old now and I can't sex them. Neither of them had any sign of a drakes curly tail feather which should have developed by now but the beans of their beaks are way darker than the rest of their bill and their heads seem a darker brown than the rest of their body. One of the is particularly aggressive and has the darkest bean to bill ratio. The aggressive campells bill is a yellowish green and the other Campbell's bill has stayed a slate grey/blue. He also has a darker bean on his bill but I'm not sure how reliable that is to sex Campbell's (I read a forum saying that's one way to tell) they are around the same size but the more aggressive one is a little bigger and full.
Here are some pictures of the more aggressive Campbell that I suspect is a drake:
As you can see there are no signs of drake feathers but the bean is darker along with his head.
Here are some pictures of the other Campbell that I think to be a duck:
Also no signs of drake feathers.
And I know voice sexing is the easiest to do but I actually have a really hard time with that
