Male or Female Call Duck?

[jenna j]

Hey Everyone! My call ducklings will be 3 weeks tomorrow. Anyone have any tips on telling male or female? I have 5 babies, I know one is a female for sure bc she is extremely loud! I noticed 2 of them seem slightly bigger, and their tail feathers are longer than the other 3. Any suggestions or pointers would be great! Hoping for more females than just one! I don't want to have to part with any of them.

TIA!

Drakes are a LOT larger, and tend to have curled feathers. You can check pictures of drakes to try, and guess.

Drakes don't get the tail curl till around 3 to 4 months old once they have gone through the juvenile molt. Voice sexing can be done at around 4 weeks old..
Post a picture of your Ducklings..

Voice sexing is the earliest reliable way to tell gender, unless you are experienced at vent sexing...

6-8 weeks is when their voices change fully...
