Swedish & Rouen drakes or hen?

[jus10inla]

born april 2023, so approximately 2.5 months old. on the rouen, im assuming the orange bill will be my drake, and the duller grey will be hen; even tho shes a little bigger. The swedes I need some help. The one with the crest im hoping is my drake; as it’s already been nicknamed TRUMP. the other swede im thinking is a hen bc its been VERY VOCAL since about 1 month old. She never stops babbling at the others. Like a chatty kathy.

i know the pics are terrible but they dotn hang around much anymore when we walk close to them or try and get pics

You should be able to voice sex by now. Quack is a girl raspy smoker is a boy

Never heard trump be vocal. Just kathy

If you skip ahead to around a minute and 15 seconds, the lady starts explaining the different noises. It's pretty obvious once you know what you're listening for.

I've always had my males be extremely talkative but their quacks are much more raspy and low sounding. The female sound a lot like how Donald Duck would be if he was real.

When do they get the curl tail and head start turning full green? I duck hunted early in life, and drake mallard Greenheads in flooded fimber were of course easy to identify ; and we always talked amingst other duck hunters in code … how many flips you get today (curl tail) .

now that i have a few tho im watching them actually mature

If you had males, they would already have their so called Drake feather at this point. Not all drakes have ones that are very pronounced, however.
I haven't had any duck breeds that have green heads but apparently they should show up around 15 weeks old.
