My Ducks- Need Some Help w/ Identifying- Rouen

[Colleenj87]

Help! Can anyone Determine what sex these ducks are? I’m so confused. They are about 4 months old. Any help would be appreciated- thanks in advance

Looks like females. Have you tried voice sexing yet? Females will quack early on and males have a raspy frog like sound

Definitely hens

Those are Mallards, the one with the lighter face has some rouen or call duck in it's genepool

As small as they are. They are actually called grey call duck

 

[AvianBrain]

They do have the grey color, but their proportions such as bill length, rectangularish torpedo shaped body, and normal eye size says Mallard-Based bantam duck. Call ducks essentially have the body proportions of a duckling, such as rounded body shortened bill, rather large eyes, shortened legs ext.

Some call ducks have genetics that are a little funny. Can be bigger with bigger bills and etc
