Male or female?

How old are ducklings before you can tell how old they are?

You can vent sex them at a few hours old like hatcheries. With Muscovies you can tell as the males are larger and their wings take longer to develop then the females.
With mallards juvenile drakes will have a darker lacing and a broken voice (purberty) then later they will get their curled tail feathers and colour up.

Sorry I'm not sure about age
