Sexing Welsh Harlequins

[Tbrayton]

Hello! I’ve read lots online about raising ducks and chose Welsh Harlequin eggs to hatch. We just hatched 5 ducklings a few days ago. I’m wondering if you all think I have 1 male and 4 females? Does it mean anything that 2 are almost solid yellow and the other 3 have dark heads some dark coloring all over them? The eggs came from from 2 flocks of pure Welsh Harlequin’s. I do not know which eggs were from which flock but they all roam together. I’m excited to see them grow and watch their colors change!

I think you can only do it within about 3 days of hatch but I'm no expert. Also i have heard that only the silver will be sexable.

Yep, at this point, you can't really sex by bill color, and even when you can it's only about 70% reliable.
