I have a small flock of 10 fifteen week old ducks, 6 of which are Rouens. I read that you can sex them by the vocalizations, quacking for females, squeaky for males. By now the Rouens are pretty well defined by feather color and I can see that I have one male and five females.
They seem to follow the "sexing by sound" rule except for one female who has never uttered a single quack. She squeaks, but sounds nothing like the raspy Drake does.
Is this normal or is something wrong with her?
