Mallard: Duck or Drake?

[Jase The Butcher]

There's no doubt that's duck, look at the feathers growing on the bottom. Mallard drakes, when that age, start growing their male feathers around the wing.

Aww she’s a girl

How can you tell?
Don't they all feather out in girl like plumage at first?

She is a Border Collie/Pitt mix. Her herding instinct is very dominant, she can leap fences like they aren’t even there, and she is as strong as an ox. We adopted her after she had been in a rescue home for 8 months. Everyone that met with her turned her down because she was labeled an “escape artist”.
