Welsh Harlequin ducklings, I thought I had 3 ladies...what do you think?

I thought we had 3 ladies...1 silver phase and 2 golden phase. They are now 4 weeks and I'm not so sure. What do you think? Thanks.

There's really no way to visually sex them at this age - when they are just hatched you can tell with about 70% accuracy from their bill colors but that wears off after a couple days. After that, you have to wait for them to start quacking or vent sex them.

I was sure they were girls but this is my first time with WH and doubting myself now. I also have this photo at 8 days old.

Thanks for your reply.

Well, you should be able to tell as soon as they start quacking. Regardless, they are adorable

Thank you all. It's going to be a waiting game then.
