Welsh harlequins...Male? Female? Ugh help!

[Ray123]

These are my 2 month old welsh harlequin ducks, the lady I got them from said she was pretty sure one was a boy and one was a girl (they were 4 days old when I got them) How do I tell?

Are their quacks different? My drake sounds completely different from my females and his tail feathers curl up a bit. I thought it was just him, but apparently those are general male duck traits. (Mine is a Blue Swedish)

They sound almost the same , one has a more raspy quack but not to much more

They both look like boys to me as well. They have the color pattern that the drakes get on the top of their head and near their bill, and there’s a clearly demarcated line across the front of both of their throats. If they’re 8 weeks and no attempts at quacking, only peeping or rasping, that’s further confirmation. They’re both very cute though!

you don’t need girls in your flock though! a bachelor flock works really well!

Both look to be males to me too.
