Huh????? You’re saying you think I have two drakes? One duck?
what’s a melon head?

Never heard of sexing a drake by them having a melon head. I’ll see if I can find some info on that one.

Drakes have more masculine heads..hence melon heads.

They all have the same coloring on their head, at least to me it looks that way. I haven't noticed it being such a good indication of gender until they are much older. They all look and sound like drakes to me.

These are a little over six week old Indian runner ducklings
Ignore my big boys and girls in the back ground being nosey if you can and let me know what you think

They are so gorgeous

Its actually a real term for Male Ducklings.

I was looking for a specific place where it said this Canadian or American couldn’t find anything and I can’t see any difference in these Runners head shapes
