Anyway to sex ducklings?

[mikecoscia]

I have three butterscoth call ducklings I hatched out this summer (around 6 weeks old already!) Two of them are I am giving to a friend, so I want to add a white and malard drake. I would like to incubate 3 eggs of each color and give away what I don't want when they hatch. Is there anyway to sex them when they are young or do I have to wait till they fully feather out and begin to change colors?

If they are old enough, the females will start quacking and the males will probably still be peeping.. it is a whispery, raspy peep that sounds like they have a cold

Then the males will get a "rab, rab" noise when they reach maturity

There is a sticky at the top of the duck section. Check it out.
