Wondering about the sex of our duckling.

This is Chuck. He’s Cayuga/Khaki Campbell. Can anyone figure out if he’s really Chick or more of a Chuckita??

How old is the duck
My girls were quacking by 5 weeks
My boys sounded like they had frogs in their throats
I’m not sure by Colour with that mix

Chuckita! Your pretty duckling appears to be a lavender. I only know because I have one too. This is mine (she is a Khaki Silver Swedish cross):

Anyway, lavender results from having the brown sex-linked trait and blue (one black, one nonblack). The only way you could get a lavender from a Cayuga khaki cross is if your male is the Khaki and your female is the Cayuga. Am I correct? This would be a sex-linked cross and any lavender offspring would be females. Boys would be blue. She is beautiful btw!

I thought Swedish because of the neck but wasn’t sure
I have 4 Swedish myself
Maybe one of the parents has a Swedish gene in them

This is so exciting! She will be 4 weeks old on Tuesday. @cheezenkwackers I am so impressed with your knowledge. I wish I understood the genetics behind all of this. Yes, the male is the Khaki and the mom is the Cayugo! It's a relief to know she's a Chuckita! Your duck is lovely as well. Such a sweet face!
