Help me sex this duck!

Miss Lydia - no right or wrong just opinions.

Actually in that video there is also a duck quacking in the background, so actually there were both male and female vocalizations.

It has the beak color of a male and raspy voice, but it has no curled tail feather, no mating activity, the person we got it from said it was female (she has about 50 ducks), and Lucy is smaller than "her" sister of the same breed. It's very weird.

@sourland

She is actually about a year old.

"It" lol

 

[Miss Lydia]

I wonder if you can go by bill color on mixed? if "it's' a year old and doesn't have a curled drake feather must be a girl don't ya think?

I think it's a female, but that darn quack just throws me off. It could be a male, but it just seems strange that this women who works with so many animals would tell me the wrong gender.

Listen to the Runner ducks quack they seems to have a lower pitch and you can hear the drakes in there too.

I thought so too.

Is it the drake or duck that sounds like her? @Miss Lydia
