What kind of ducks do I have??

[eliz_anne]

Hi! I recently brought ducks home for the first time about 6 weeks ago. Does anyone have any idea what kind of ducks I have and if you can tell if they are male/female??

Looks to me like Pekins and female Rouens. The Pekin to the right looks like a male, but I'd need some close up pictures to be sure.

I was able to get a few more pictures up close. I hope this helps.

The two white ones ate pekin. The two with striped heads look like my factory quality rouen, and the last two look like khaki ducks. Males have a raspy high pitched quack and get a curled feather by the tail. A female lacks that feather and has a significantly louder quack. The females may also have noticable dark spots on their beaks.

The Pekin on the left is a drake. I'm not sure about the other one. I would check for a drake feather (it curls on the end of their tail). The smaller ones are Mallard hens I think. The other two look like Khaki Campbells

Rouens and pekins you have.

Thank you everyone! I will keep an eye out to check the tail feathers and listen closer to their sounds. They don’t tend to make too much noise, at least not yet!

Pekins tend to be a louder breed, they'll most likely develop their voices soon.

Pekins, Khaki Campbell, and Mallards.
