How old does my Pekin have to be to tell gender?

[JohnsonHomested]

We have two month old Pekin duck that we were told is a female but she's kinda quiet. I was told females would be louder. I'm looking for a drake feather but I don't see anything noticeable. At what age can you feather sex a Pekin duck?

Hi I have Perkin ducks and the males have a louder voice than females. Also the drakes have some curl on their tail feathers.

I was wondering what age the curled tail feather shows up ( because mine obviously doesn't have one). Everyone on BYC told me the females were louder so I keep waiting for one or the other to show up.

Mine are almost 3 months old and just started to see the curling in the drake. The males also are a little shorter than females.

Is the loud a true quack or a loud raspy noise?

I hardly ever hear a quack. It's usually what's on the video I posted.
