Duck gender identification

[nao57]

So...thanks for all the nice and wonderful comments. You guys are really wonderful. Everyone is really nice here also.

OK, so here's my question.

I've noticed that in the ducklings I have, some have sort of rounded heads and some have boxy heads. Like for example around where the eyebrow bones would be and the shape around there. I'd been really curious about this part specifically to ask on if its related to gender or not on boxy or smooth heads.

I wonder if that has anything to do with gender, male and female? Also what about hip and leg placement width? Is that also related to gender? Although if a duck is just fat then that could be confusing on hip and leg width spacing.

I am aware of the drake curled tail tip thing, but it sounded like that might not be 100% telling on drakes? Or is that not true? Is the tail curl always going to show on drakes and not females?

Thanks.

Could you post a picture? I think that type of stuff will vary per bird, voice sexing and vent sexing are the most accurate ways, you can sex by the drakes feather ,but some drakes just don't develop one or sometimes they get pulled out so, yes its not the most accurate way of sexing.
