Breed and Gender guess on ducklings

[Mrsfoote]

so a friend of mine got three ducklings two weeks ago, no idea of breed and obviously no idea of gender, so I've done some research but seeing as how I've never owned ducks, only chickens I figured I'd leave the guesses up to the people who have. So here they are, question is...Breed? Gender?

They look like pekins, and as for gender, you'll have to wait until they start quacking

Ooooh I didn't know you could tell the gender when they start quacking! Guess you can tell how new I am to pekins. I've been waiting to see the little tail flip things the boys have. Very cute ducklings there!

Yep, girls have that typical loud quack that you think of when you think 'quack.' Boys have a very raspy, lower voice.

Does the lower voice almost sound like a honk?

The male is the first one quacking.
