They are almost 10 weeks now and I still can't tell. I can tell they are loud, clumsey and annoying!! Hahahhaa!!! I told my neighbor I would give them a male for there lone hen. At what age do there tails curl over? Thanks!
 
I could sex mine at 3 weeks. the females have an obvious "quack" and the males are still kind of squeeky.

It is especially obvious when I pick them up and they are irritated!

Good luck! They won't get drake feathers until about 4 months or so.....
 
I can sex mine at under a week old, but I'm used to being around baby ducks

You should be able to tell at 10 weeks by their sounds, the females have a loud 'WACK WACK' sound, and the males are more quiet. Kinda like Daffy duck

Oh No!! I think I have all girls then!! They are All noisey!! Thanks!!!
 
take each one at a time and listen to them...they all make a sounds, and the girls tend to overshadow the boys, the boys sound like they have larengitis (spelling?) but they do have a sound...

If you do have all girls, I'm also in KY (Green River Lake area) and have a youngish (5-6 months) pekin drake that is trying to breed with my guineas
