Are these pictures of the same duck? I ask because the left looks sort of female and the right looks male.

Quite! Same duck... hence the doubts.

That's a great video. Ok, well Kristof hisses, not pip and the crest raising thing and hissing have been more often so yah, I think your right with drake.

OK, little fluffy things:


There are three more with a black duck that´s a first-timer, and is so devoted to her babies, she keeps them really tucked away. I´ve not managed to get a pic of those yet. So I have 8 barred and 5 pied. A couple of the barred have very light tails, so I´m really hoping for a blue/lilac/lavender or whatever.

Alice, here´s a pic of my drake. Notice the huge bodhy out behind the legs. Also, my females. Notice they do have very red faces, but totally different size and shape in the body. Females hiss and raise their crest too. It´s just that they also quack of a sort, but the males definitely don´t. Grab her tail, see what s/he does.

Notice the difference in the body shapes.

One of my females. Notice pointy tail-end.


Another female. A lot of red.
In one of the pics, you can see the legs of a gander, which shows how small the duck is in comparison. The drake is about the same size as the ganders.
