Sexing 7 week old Pekin duck pair

Hi! I'd like some educated guesses as to the genders of my ducks. Pretty sure ones a male, the little one. It looks like it might be getting a curly tail feather but maybe I'm just reading them wrong haha.

Could you post a video of their voice? (To post a video, upload it to Youtube, Vimeo, or other similar video platform and then copy/paste the link here.)

I think both are girls. They sound similar , and I couldn't here any "rasp"

Yes that's what I'm thinking, one is and has been bigger than the other since I got them so I thought maybe the littler one was a male. Thanks so much!

Haha thank you! I looked up how to tell gender by sound and thought they both sounded like girls but I keep thinking curled tail feathers are appearing on the smaller one.

Update on the Pekin Pair!! The biggest one is a male! Just found out when I saw him mounting the female. I could hear a duck honking very loudly and went to inspect what was going on, and the biggest one clearly has a penis and was standing on top of the littler one. The little one escaped and started running across the lawn flapping her wings, and the male also started running freaked out and was dragging his equipment until he figured out how to make it go back in. He seemed to be just as disturbed by the incident as the female. No drake feathers but I have noticed he doesn't make the high noises anymore. I'll have to record them and post another video of how they sound now.
