How long until I know it’s a boy

[dragonmaker]

I have 5 ducks. I’ve heard 4 peep-honk already. One is still peeping. He/she is a welsh harlequin whose head is grey. Is it a boy? They’re 5 weeks old. Do I just need to be patient?

Be patient!! It will only be a short wait!

It’s possible they’re male if they haven’t peep-honked yet, yes.

If you could get a video of their voice, upload it elsewhere like on YouTube, and then link it here, we could tell you their gender with more certainty.

It’s a drake

@cheezenkwackers how can you tell?

I tried to record the welsh harlequin peeping. What do you think of his/her voice?

Voice definitely seems male-like to me. I thought male as well for the solid pink bill & extra dark head, but I wasn’t confident in making that claim.
