Hi all, first time posting here!

I am new to having ducks as we just got our first 6 from TSC at the end of May. Already totally obsessed with them 😍 anyways they are about 12 weeks old now so I was hoping for a better clue at what gender these are but I'm still struggling. I know for sure 1 is a female as she quacks in return to me talking to them or when she wants something lol

I'm not so sure on the others but I think there is 2 females and 4 males. What's your thoughts?

Ignore their mud holes and the dirty water that I just cleaned for them I refilled the pool and bucket again after the pictures 🙃

Hi and welcome to BYC.
Best way to tell sex is by voice pick each one up and walk away from the others most likely you'll hear quacking which only the females do. The drakes will sound like heavy smokers with raspy voices. And at 12 weeks should soon start to see drake curl at end of tail.
@cheezenkwackers might be able to tell by pic.

It is hard to tell from your pictures but it does look like several boys to me too. Your guess of 2 and 4 could very well be correct. The boys usually have solid, darker feathers right above the tail. Their bills are usually starting to to turn bluish or greenish. Their legs and feet are often brighter orange. Girls on the other hand, have two-toned lighter feathers above their tails, Their bills stay more pinky, flesh-toned brown. Their legs do not get as bright orange. As Miss Lydia said, voice sexing will tell you for sure.
Here is a picture of a pair of mine at that age.
