I've been told that females quack and males make raspy noises. Used to have visiting Mallards (for a couple years), the female would walk on the outside window sill and look in. She also would peck at the door till food appeared.

I was too dumb to know they didn't really like eating white bread pieces but, if I put water out for them they would dunk the bread and then eat it. Had no idea ducks didn't produce saliva. Live and learned.

Was gonna say my mallards loved bread but yeah they don't/can't eat it very well dry.

I just hatched a baby duckling that had a harmed leg. After a couple hours they are fine and walking around great now. I do not know the gender yet, for it is only one day old. It’s name is Pebbles and has imprinted on me. I don’t know much any tips will help. Things I would like to know: What toys do they like? What happens if I give it medicated chick starter? What tubs for first swim do you recommend? How do I tell the sex? Can I only raise one or do I need multiple? How do I build a duck swing? When can i give them a kiddie pool? How do I get the poop of it’s bum? And lastly, what feed and waters do you recommend?

You can post your questions in the "Duck" forum! You will get more answers there
I can't help you but for the gender you can post pictures here in a few weeks or so!
