Can you tell if these duckings are boys or girls (by sound)?!

Hi Everyone, I am wondering if you can help us to determine if our ducklings, DeBois & Bayou, who are 6 to 7 weeks old respectively, are male or female using the audio/video files attached? We found the information to try this method from David Holderread’s book “Raising Ducks” - which I consider my Duck Bible.

Yes! DuBois and Bayou are both boys

hard to tell. I think the second one might be a girl but I'm not sure. what kind of ducks are they?

Oh, Kathi, thank you! Rhough it is not the answer I was hoping for - desparately need more girls.

DuBois is a Cayuga/Rouen and Bayou is a Cayuga/Saxony. Moms are Cayugas.

Thanks Moonshiner. I was guessing girls but knew that you all know way more than I do - just finishing up my first year with ducks. And, most likely wishful thinking. I so need girls, and now likely more boys. May have to contemplate an all make flock!
