Duck or Drake?

[Disheygirl]

Four weeks old, not sure what breed but maybe a Pekin. Went from tiny duckling to the size of a hen in one month.

I have another one chirping in the background so watch the bill move for sound.

Still a baby!!

I hear some tiny (female) quacks with that chirping!

Is that the sound that kind of sounds like a loud cheep? When I separate them, they really get going…would that noise be a better indicator?

Too young. Wait until they are about eight weeks.

Both the males and females cheep/peep. But when their voices change, the females start quacking whereas the males sound like croaking frogs. I played the video again, and unless you've got another mature duck sorta half-hearted quacking in the background, I am hearing tiny quacks at the tail-end of the cheeps. (I've got Samsung earbuds in...not sure if the quacking is audible on regular speakers.)

I had another one chatting in the background. I’ll wait a few weeks and try again. I’m so impatient, but it doesn’t matter either way - they’re stuck with me.
