    I think I have three drakes

    Is my Indian Runner duck male or female?

    Is my black indian runner male or female? I think he's a boy but he has not started quaking and doesn't have a sex curl but his head has a tinge of green in it. I don't know if that means anything as he is an Indian runner not a mallard but just thought someone on here might be able to tell me.
