Ok... got 6 silver and 6 gold from Holderreads... I have never held a baby duck before and kind of feel like a first time mother all over again. And unfortunately a white runner passed away 15 min after I put in brooder... that was traumatic. Then I got called in to work in the afternoon, so I had the kids take pics of their bills to try and guess gender. Out of the 12 ducks, about 7 of the pics came out
Some of these are obvious, but some are not (at least to me!)
So what do you all think?
And how do you tell the gold and silver apart?
Female
Male
Male: Casanova
Female?????

I know the lighter bills are girls. But one of mine literally has an hour glass shape with dark on the inside and light on the outside? And a couple are uniformly medium colored??? These are the ones that are throwing me for a loop. Overall, I think I have at least 6 or 7 girls! YEAH!!! And one of them has a really, really dark head and dark almost black bill. He really stands out..he is in pic 3. My daughter named him Casanova LOL..
