Drake feather?

Couple more weeks.

Mine (different breed - Pekins) are 9 weeks old today, I believe - could be off a day. They are starting to identify gender by their quacks pretty distinctively, one was quite clear last week, a couple seem to waffle, which is enough to mark them as girls. The suggestion of drake feathers are just starting to appear in a couple whose voices haven't yet changed into a more feminine and stereotypical "quack". I'll be more confident in those not yet quacking in about 2 weeks.
I have two boys that’s just make raspy noises even when picked up and two that sounds like boys while walking around but when picked up make really loud quacking noises. I’m just ready to know what they are lol also have two Pekins that quack non stop!
 
@4littleducklings Its my understanding that if they rasp and quack, they are of the female kind. Boys never quack.

But I could be wrong, its my first year doing this. I've read a lot, asked lots of questions, trolled the forums here, and sometimes asked of the more experienced posters.

Hope I don't steer you wrong - but if I do, someone WILL correct me. ;)
