Sexing Rouens

[Garciaaxen]

Hello, I have 2 Rouens & they are 5 weeks old. It may be soon but since they are changing & getting bigger sooo fast I was just hoping someone could guess on which is female & male. On all the pictures the larger one is on the left, it’s got more feathers than the other, it’s bill is starting to turn yellow or like a lighter color. The right one is the smaller one & doesn’t have as much feathers as the other & the bill isn’t really lightening up. Also I may add the larger one is the leader lol which is why you always see the smaller one behind it.

It's probably too early to tell but I will tag a few duck people! haha

This will tell you what to listen for to tell duck and drake. Usually by 5 weeks every once in a while you might get to hear a quack break through.

probably a good chance the bigger one is a drake
But the best way to tell is by voice
Females will develop a loud quack right about this age
and drakes sound like a low quieter "kree kree" sound

I agree. Voice is the best way to tell this young
They are very adorable !
