When will I be able to sex my ducks?

[Taj_MaChicken]

I have a rouen, and two black cayugas. I think they might be 6 weeks, but wasn't given the best info from the one owner.

I have my suspicions about one. But the cayugas weren't handled, at all, so they're difficult to get close to. I don't know much about ducks, as we ended up with the one originally as a type of rescue situation.

I know there's supposedly a "sex feather." But I don't know when they show.

Louie is the mallard. Dewey is the bigger (and most black) of the cayugas. Huey is the smaller cayuga with the white on the neck. And nugget, the SLW who thinks she's a duck.

You should be able to voice sex them now. Go on YouTube and watch a few videos with sound on voice sexing ducks. Females make a loud honk/quack, makes do not.

4 girls at 5 weeks old. there's one boy mixed in, he's the only one peeping still

girls at 7 weeks old, already sounding like adults

boys should still be peeping at 6 weeks, different from kid peeps, but still a peep.

Unfortunately the cayugas don't make much noise. Louie has the raspy voice.

I think the Rouen is a drake based on feather colors. If you don’t have any loud, obvious, obnoxious quacking going on, I’m afraid you may have three boys.
