I have 2 ducks I got back in early April and have a couple of questions. So I have black duck and a white mixed brown one. My questions are what gender they are. This is my first time getting ducks so I’m not expert, they are about 7-8 weeks now and I will upload pics of them. Also learning what breed they all would be great 😊 they are quite pretty. Also sorry about the background it’s a bit messy I was cleaning and moving them around.

I think the white and brown one is a drake and the other one a female, I can only tell because male ducks (drakes) have bigger, thicker legs and feet compared to females, different things to help identify the gender of the ducks can depend on the breed, so that is the only way I can make my guess, their beautiful ducks, wish you the best of luck :)
 
I can't help with genders, but I see a Fawn and White Runner Duck and a Black Runner Duck :) I believe the most effective way to sex ducks is by voice. Females should quack and males have a softer whispery voice. This should work after 10 weeks!
