Drake or Duck? Help please!

[WIchickens]

Hi! So the fair is next week. I posted pics of the ducks my daughter is taking. We are new to ducks so I need help - male or female? There is no obvious curl yet, hatch end of March. The Pekin is almost 10 lbs. let me know what you think!

A video of their voices would be helpful. Quack is the best sign.

Hens QUACK!...Drakes have a raspy voice almost like a whistle...

My Pekins tails are changing now too. I have one Pekin with a tail that just changed to what yours looks like in the picture. They are about 3 months now (born mid/end April).

Has your Pekin gone through the 4 month molt? (At 4 months they molt and grow a whole new set of feathers.)

I'd be interested in what others say. I'm trying to be super patient about finding out my Pekin's gender.

If male, they should be getting their drake feathers soon (4 ish months old). Until then, go by the quack. Males are quiet and raspy. Females are loud and shrill
