WH Drake or duck???

[Greystone farm]

Hey everyone!
My Welsh Harlequin duckling Charlie is six weeks old. I bought her as a sexed female, but now I’m not so sure if ‘she’ is actually a drake.
First off, her beak never turned purplish black like my other duckling (who I’m positive is a female) did. It’s a lightish pink with a black tip and speckles in the centre, just like when I bought her as a day oldIt isn’t at all olive colored like a drake either.
Next, her voice never changed. While my other duckling’s voices became more like quacks, Charlie’s stayed the same…but it still sounds too loud to be a male. It’s like a loud, sort of deep chirp but not a quack. It can be raspy when she’s stressed.
And finally, her head feathering is different. My other WH has a light brown head but as Charlie’s feathers come in, I can see hers is a greyish black color.
I’ve attached a photo. I hope Charlie is a female because I already have a drake and can’t keep two
Thanks in advance
ALSO I know his/her face is a little bloated…it’s from a sinus blockage or infection that she/he has been struggling to overcome for a few weeks.

all depends on the drakes but yes they could be perfectly happy. i keep my 2 hens with 1 drake and they are all happy together, and i know people who keep a 1:1 ratio with up to 6 ducks and it works perfect

Maybe I’ll see if they get along. I hope they do

You think? Too bad

You think? Too bad

for sure, you can definitely have 2 drakes though! i have 3 and they are my babies

Do you have any pictures of her being a few days old?

Yep!

But that means I’d have 5 ducks and 2 drakes is that ratio okay? One female is blind so she’d be living somewhere separate from the others so 4 to 2 really. I don’t want them to fight

Yep!

She's a female! Because female WH ducklings have a orange bill with black tip and the males have a dark tip.

But what about the grey feathering?

But she looks kinda like a male because of her darker chest feathers. Are you sure that the duckling on the picture is the same duck? How old is it?

100% sure it’s the same duck. She/he is 6 weeks old now.
