Mallard ducklings ~ Gender

[CrazyDuckLady90]

Can someone send me a video of what a female and\ or male mallard duckling sounds like? Trying to sex my 4-5 week old mallards. Much appreciated!

Most ducks can be gendered effectively at around 6 weeks, and the females will sound like the classic duck sound people think of, while males will tend to be quieter and not be able to do that quacking noise

my rescue mallard from last year quacking, he was probably around 7 weeks old (he looks younger, but he is definitely atleast 7 weeks here. before we rescued him he did not have enough nutrients to grow and also was under severe stress. he wasn’t fully grown until almost 4 months)
