Help! Sex these?

[Franklinn]

Thoughts on males/females? 2 & 3 have green beaks. The others are hard to distinguish other than they are larger than the green beak ones. They don’t make too much noise except one really loud quacker(1)! Khaki Campbell’s

How old are they?

Then I'd say the two with green bills are males and the others are females.

That’s what I’m thinking too

My khaki males did not all have green bills. That works with quality Welsh Harlequins, but not other breeds. The loud quacker is a female. If any are raspier they are males. Voice is the best way to sex at this age. There is a way to sex khakis by feather color. Hopefully someone with a good eye takes a look.

beak sexing isn’t accurate for khakis, i had a khaki girl with a green beak and my boy has a grey/black beak.

1,2,3, and 5 are definitely drakes
6 is definitely a hen. not sure about 4.

I'm with fatty and friends, I am sorry to say, it looks like a lot of drakes. I would have said 1,3,4, and 5 are drakes. 6 is a hen and 2 I am not sure of. But, 2 looks like a drake in picture one but a hen in picture two and 4 is harder to see. Here is what I am looking at. Drakes get solid, dark feathers above their tail feathers. Hens have two-toned, usually lighter feathers. See picture below.

I hope we don’t have that many drakes! Another question: will they change colors even more? I’ve read that the males will lighten up and have a darker head.

Around 12 weeks the boys will start to molt into their breeding plumage and you will know for sure. This is the same pair a few weeks later (a little over four months).
