Can a drake mallard sense if my duckling is a hen?

I have a BIG mallard named Bill (pun) who has gotten more, well... 'Aggressive' with my chickens since I put my little ones out in the coop. The birds can see each other, but not interact. Duckling was born mid-April and I do not know the gender yet.

Also, at what age would a female mallard be able to have lil' ones? I am pretty sure that it is sooner than it would lay infertile eggs.
