The khaki-Campbell duck Thread !!!!!!!!

I was wondering if you can help me out. I bought these two ducks as little ducklings May 10 2014. I'm assuming they were a few days old then. I'm 99% sure the one is a drake. I can't figure out the other one though. I mean, is it another drake that is just taking longer to change or a female? Any help would be appreciated.

it took my other 2 drakes a bit longer than the 1 (it was obvious with him from the get-go). From the pic u shared & what little bit,very little bit lol, that I've learned it looks like 2 drakes the way the 1 is colored up & even his shape. It maybe that its just taking longer. With my 2 that took longer it was really a bit longer then it was like overnight they changed. I went out to get them cared for 1 morning & what do ya know!? Curled tail feathers & heads turning green. I'm serious it was overnight...I was pretty positive that they were females until that fateful morning lol. Hope this helps a little..

Here is another picture if the two. The one in question does have a darker head but no curly tail feathers. That's the big thing that is confusing me.

Alright, think I'm going with a boy. Lol. I guess I need to buy some sexed. I was hoping they would be female for their eggs.

Definitely a boy. The females are a khaki color throughout their body. The males look exactly like yours.

When do I put my ducklings outside? and when can I let them eat what the adults eat?

Do you guys think this is a duck egg? I found it in a nesting box which I know ducks don't normally use but we've been waiting for our duck to lay and this looks waaay to big to be a chicken egg.. I put it next to a store bought egg for comparison

That could very well be a Khaki egg. Mine lay abut that size, with the pointy end...not quite that color of beige but similar.
