What breed / sex are my feed store duckies?

[Smashlee83]

We got Olive and Goose about 8 weeks ago from our local feed store and oh my goodness they have grown so fast. My guess is that Olive is a Khaki Campbell and Goose is a Muscovy but I honestly know next to nothing about ducks and have searched these forums to come up with that conclusion. Is it too early to determine if they are boys are girls?

Khaki campbell and ancona?

I'm not great at breed identification.

Do you have any quacking?

Why do you think the black and white is a Muscovy? Is it getting caruncles that aren’t obvious in the picture? It looks like an Ancona to me but I do not have those and could be wrong. The brown one is a Khaki Campbell. As best I can tell he is a drake but if either is a girl they will be quacking loudly by now.

Looks like you have a khaki Campbell and a Magpie Both beautiful. Hearing any quacks yet? females quack, drakes sound like a frog with a cold.

A Khaki Campbell and a Magpie. Do they quack or make a raspy voice? Could you post a video of their voice? (To post a video, upload it to Youtube, Vimeo, or other similar video platforms, and then copy/paste the link here.)

No quacking from either since they were little bitty.

I looked at pics and with the large black cap made me think more Magpie

I should add that they were raised under a broody silkie with two other chicks and it's quite possible they think they are aquatic chickens.

Give the video a second for my rooster to be quiet and you can hear them.

I had to look up magpie vs ancona because I've never had either! I'm taking back my suggestion of ancona, if others think a magpie is more likely.

I had a late quacker once. She didn't quack until at least 3 months! I think that's not typical, though. Hopefully you get some quacks soon, and if not many of our members really love their pet drakes.
