I just captured the duck so you could hear its alarmed honk, and then followed them around so you could get a good look. It doesn't honk like that very often, only when I'm chasing it, lol. Usually it makes quiet noises, hence the sex confusion. The duck is about 7 weeks old.

Excuse the shaky beginning, I was trying to hold a duck and the camera.

 
The duck looks like a female to me.. My females were much louder than the males. The males usually have more of a "raspy" quack, where the females quack. From the looks of the tail feathers, also looks female. My male finally has the curl in the back tail feathers but he is 12 weeks old. You may have to wait a bit longer. Just my guess..

Drake ducks don't get their feathers until they are at least 4 months old. That is deffinitely a girl though. If it were a boy it would still be peeping.

The other is a male, as I'm pretty sure you know. But the little 'whacking' one is deffinitely a girl.
