As far as I can tell, all of our Crested have loud (female) quacks. None of our ducks, not even our Pekin, have curled tails...they are all still young (3-or-4 months old, is my guess), so perhaps some of them will be looking/sounding different soon. But what I witnessed yesterday sure looked...
So, until we know for sure, we're assuming all of our Crested are female...but earlier today one laid on the ground and kind of quack-hissed while others pecked at her crest & one stood on top of her (smaller than the bottom duck, so nothing happened, just standing and pecking at her crest)...
I try not to give insensitive names to my animals...although, I once had a cat I would have probably named "that animal" just for how mean it was. Ha-ha!

We have 3 White Crested ducks & 1 Black Crested duck. Since we can't tell the three whites a part, we call them the "Three Musketeers". The brown one doesn't really have a name, at the moment, but occasionally I'll refer to her as "Brownie". Poor Brownie had a full crest the day she came to...
