Is this a male?

[Happy Hill Farmstead]

My little girl would like to know what her 7 week old duckling will most likely look like when he molts into his adult feathers. These are our first ducklings so we are having fun looking at all of their changes. He is the light colored one in the pictures. We think he is a male based on his voice, but if someone thinks otherwise based on his coloring please let us know. Thanks in advance!

Can you post a video of his quacking? You would need to use you tube or vimeo to do so. And, you want to take him away from all the other ducks so we can hear only him. When I went to get my runners, the males were obviously bigger. But, they were 4 months and I'm not sure when that size difference becomes obvious.

I will see if I can get a video

I got some videos I will upload them separately with the ducklings names on each

Can you help with the quackers in the videos above?

Puddle sounds like a girl. Emu I would guess a boy. Pip I'm not quite sure on but I'm leaning towards a girl.

Those were my guesses as well, but it was super early when I listened this morning.
