How to find out what sex my ducklings are

[Ken the big rooster]

Hi everyone. I recently got some fertile eggs to put under my broody hen and she hatched out 13 little Indian runners.
But how can I tell what sex are they

How old are they now? most likely by 3-4 weeks you'll start hearing some quacks slip out of your females and the drakes will still be peeping.

You won't be able to tell right away. You will need to wait until they get their adult voices. Hens will quack louder than the male rasps. Later drakes will develop a curled tail feather.

Once they are around 5-8 weeks old you will be able to tell by their voices. Females are loud and make the distinctive quack quack sound. Males will be quieter and less talkative, with a raspy voice. When the boys are 10+ weeks old they will start growing their curled tail feathers.

I’m new to this but hopefully you will be able to see them. They were 3 weeks old last Saturday and it was a hen that hatched them out
