I cant tell my ducks sex!!!?

[frankie5316]

ok, i looked up on the internet how to tell the sex of a duck, it said that if they have a curled feather on theyre tush, then its a male. i have three ducks, 2 of them have the curled feather and the other one doesnt. the one that doesnt is the biggest duck and its always getting on top of the other ducks trying to be "romantic". so i wonder if hes the boy? Im not sure!! someone help? does that duck not know the other two are boys, is that duck a girl?

how old are your ducks? I know male ducks will lose their tail feather during a molt. It's kinda late for a molt, but i know my ducks just finished theirs because they were born late in the season....

If it is a Muscovy then it could be a male, they don't have the tail curls.

The females have a much louder quack and males make a muffled sound

theyre all the same breed, idk what breed though. Theyre big fat all white ducks. and the one thats always getting on top of the others is the one without the curled feather and its the biggest, why is it switched around?. theyre about 6 or 7 months old.

sounds like a pekin to me.... you could just have a big aggressive female... listen to them quack. If they won't quack for you, you can try to pick them up, that usually does it. If the quack is whispery or raspy it's a male.... if you can hear an actual "Quack!" Or "Whaahhnt" sounds, it's a female...
