are Easter ducklings (Pekin) old enough to have drake feathers now?

DH got me 2 pekins today. I wanted one female. He brings home this pair supposed to be a boy and girl. They seem to make the exact same sound, just one does it less often.

Should be getting close with the feather but my goodness you should be able to tell by quack them Pekin girls are loud. lol

I have never seen one before today. They are pretty loud, sound almost exactly like my dads hunting duck call. One is definitely more talkative, but when the other does quack it sounds the same.

Some lady said on my youtube channel that she can tell duck gender by looking at their feet. I think she's a bit koo-koo...
