About a month ago, we received our first call ducks. The previous owner said that the white was a two year old female. The other was hatched in May and he "thought" it was a female based on the quack. It is a blue fawn. So now this duck should be about four months and my daughter and I have been arguing for a month as to whether it is a male or a female. Neither of our calls are noisy--they barely make noise at all. In fact, the white adult is very skittish and opens her mouth at me like she is hissing every time I come near her pen, but it's a silent hiss. The blue fawn does have a longer beak than the adult female, but even though it is darkening a little, I would definitely put her more in the brown category rather than a blue category. Is it just too early still to tell, or should she/he be obviously a male or female by now? Still no tail curl, that's for sure. And no eggs for either, but I am guessing that is mostly seasonal for calls.
