Oh ya that's right. The males do have the dark chest.
If it makes you feel any better I'm becoming certain my blue Bibb is a drake. . I am keeping him one way or another since he is Lexi ducks only baby. And he is absolutely gorgeous.

Oh my goodness. Wait till Julie sees these.
One heck of a honker she’s got

I know! It looks so big after being used to the calls.
She is so funny and cute.

and she doesn't mind orange toes.

Too cute. I’m glad she’s doing so well being alone. Does she mingle with any of the others?

I put her outside in the kennel cage during the day so she can watch them and they can see her. I don't let them out at the same time though cause I'm too scared the juveniles might kill her.

Janes babies are the only ones close to her size but they are spaz cases

He is very pretty. Love his coloring. And I think their bills look longer at that stage till they fill into them a little more.

Here’s another pic of Jax’s eclipse progress. Definitely getting darker.
