I believe, generally, male ducks have a stripe of color across their eyes on their head. You can see the stripes on our two ducklings on the photo below. Although the farmer told us they were Khaki's they ended up being Mallards. (we still love them)

Can't tell for sure at that age but I'd guess female.
A more sure sign is the quack. Male will be very raspy and quiet. Female will be loud and strong.

its 7 weeks old. It does quack but not very loud thats why Im questioning its gender

Thanks guys!

A quack is a quack. My male makes a weird sound but i wouldn't call it a quack. I have two females, I've is load gabber mouth, the other is much more quiet with her quacks.

If there's just one they'll do that. They get lonely.

As someone who raised an "all pullets" batch with one drake, I tell you that you might just have to wait until he or she either lays eggs or develops curly tail feathers to be absolutely certain.
