Welsh harlequins are the only ones I know of and from what I’ve read depending on where you get them it’s 70-90% accurate. But I would check with wherever you are purchasing ducklings or eggs to incubate. For example metzers site says theirs are 90% accurate.

It goes off of bill color and only works the first couple days of life, after probably day 3 it wouldn’t be reliable any more.

Drakes would have a solid dark bill

Females have a light bill up top with a dark bean at the tip
