How do tell if you have male or female????

masonsmommy8813 · Apr 19, 2015

I have white pekin's, mallard's, and khaki campbell's, 13 total. How do I tell what are male and what are female? They are only about 8 weeks old. Just starting to feather out. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

Well there are a couple ways.
one is to check by venting the ducks. here is a link on how to do that-

another way to check is wait until they feather out some more. Males will typically have a feather on the end of their tail that curls upwards, and females will have straight feathers. Males will also usually have a whispery voice when quacking, and females will have a loud, strong quack.

This link has voice samples and how you can tell the sex. At 8 weeks the females should be quacking but the males might still be peeping.
