Ducklings get Drake Feathers

[5DuckFarm]

Hi, I have three ducklings who are over 6 weeks old, and I wanted to know when their genders are distinguishable. What age do they usually get there curled feather if they are males?! Thanks!

Pretty ducks. drake feather usually shows up by 4 months old but gender can usually be determined before then by quack. Girls quack loud drakes have a raspy quiet quack. pick each one up that may help.

At 6 weeks, are there quacks distinguishable?

Yes, you should be able to distinguish male from female by their voices at 6 weeks. I started hearing some very female quacking from my last duckling at around 3 weeks old.
