Sexing Silver Appleyard Ducks

[harmonymw]

Hi, hopefully this is the correct area to solicit duck sexing knowledge. My guys are a little over 6 weeks old and look very different from one another. My 9yo daughter has named them Jack and Rose (she has a Titanic thing rn), with the one having the lighter colored head being Jack.

You’re welcome for the double pictures. No idea how that happened. Maybe I’m just very thorough.

Do they both QUACK? That would be an indicator of them being female.

The one with the darker head and dark yellow bill seems to quack, but both are rather quiet, tbh.

Are you able to upload a video of them to youtube or vimeo, and post it here?

 

[harmonymw]

Possible a bit later. I’ll see what I can do.

Both look like Drakes to me..I used to raise Appleyard..My thoughts are Drakes.

The other one sounds like he has a sore throat
