You can't tell yet at that age, unless you vent sex.

We still aren't sure exactly what color she is going to be.....her tail feathers aren't brown or black.....kind of a weird faded darkish color....

I didn't for my first few, but I also didn't know I should....I've added it to all my ducks diet, I've noticed a big difference in the quality of their feathers....5x better looking IMHO, but I'm not an expert.

It depends on what you are feeding and how old they are. Per Storey's guide to raising ducks "
Niacin
If ducklings are fed chick starter a niacin supplement should be given for the first 10 weeks. Brewer’s yeast can be added to feed (2-3 cups per 10 lbs of feed) or niacin tablets can be added to water (100-150mg per gallon)."

You need to know what to look for but it's easier when there's multiple to compare. I can usually. ..about 98% of the time tell at hatch. The boys are so much bigger, then by week 2 its very obvious. ..granted there's the 2% that you are constantly wondering then it sure enough is a drake!!
