well thats what i was told drakes have curled feather... but why i ask is both my do not have curled feather , but one of them is pushing down other female head down like he wants to breed... ive never seen the duck get on other duck but it pushes female ducks head under water so i thought there could be a chance it may be a drake so i wanted to ask to make sure...

Nope just normal behavior with ducks too.
