Welsh Harlequin Ducks sexes?

[AgnesGray]

New duck and chick mom here. I had 5 ducks hatch recently and they seemed to be 2 female and 3 male, but reading through some of these pages, I'm not so sure now. What is your take on these? Thanks!

Three males ( dark bills) and two females (light bills).

Yes..Three Drakes and two hens

Thanks for confirming! they're all very sweet and shy for now. Hopefully they'll get used to seeing me and will loosen up a bit. Thanks again.

New pics just for fun

They did turn out to be 3 boys and 2 girls, btw. We added in some new genetics and will hopefully be able to retain the bill sexing quality. I know some breeders have let that go in favor of other traits, but I'd like to keep it if I can.
