View attachment 1456656 View attachment 1456657 My husband rescued these two back in April & I'm not quite sure what breed or sex they are. Neither of them quack yet & they are really sweet.
Thanks in advance for any help & guesses

They look like Welsh Harlequins. Maybe one male and one female but I'm not great with sexing ducks.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

I agree! Pretty! I think at least one looks like it could be getting the male plumage on it's head.

Welcome to BYC. Do both have 'greenish' bills ? If so both may be drakes. The 'no quacking' is also indicative of drakes. If they are drakes, you will want to get some duck hens for them so that they don't start mating the chicken hens - that could cause serious problems.

They do have greenish bills. Today they've been making more sound but it's not as loud as our Peking. We are in the middle of building the ducks their own area so that way everyone stays safe & happy. How many duck hens do you think would make them happiest if they are drakes?

At least 3 girls (or more) per drake.
