Guessing Duck sexes from behavior/noise levels?

[RosemaryDuck]

So, I know this is silly, and probably an urban myth or an old wives tale, but I gotta know. Is there any merit to 'female ducks are louder/talk more then males'? Is there any way to tell by behavior? I know I'll probably have to wait until someone decides to get a drake feather or lay an egg, but I'm just curious for anyone's input. Thanks in advance all!

Until their voices changes, I have not found males or females to be louder or more talkative. I have had a male who was really chatty and quiet females as duckling. Depending on the breed, their voices will change by 9 weeks of age. I have had many change much sooner. The males will have a raspy voice and the females are the loud quackers. The first time you hear both, the difference is very obvious.

They're currently both 5 weeks so guess I've still got some waiting on the voices. Thanks!

Their voices will changes sooner than you know it. They grow so fast. They are adorable ducklings. Best of luck with them.
