Paranoid mama worried about her duck

Probably a drake if not quacking. You can sex them by their voice a lot sooner than by their coloring (green head like you mentioned) eventually if male he should develop a sex feather on his butt and one or two will curl. Also this is definitely not a Rouen. Maybe saxony?looks like a possible mix honestly. Which is fine!! He/she is beautiful either way
Yes I think so too. I got them from an animal market so they might be mix.
 
Saxony ducklings have brown winged eyes as ducklings and their adult color is "Buff Trout" just like your duck. Rouens as ducklings display the standard "Mallard" color and Silver Appleyards are "Silver Mallard" in coloring. As far as quacking I would wait for a definite quack, croaky rasp or tail curl before deciding. I have a hen who is 3 years old, I've maybe heard her quack 4-5 times and yes she is 100% a laying hen who I use as one of my breeders.
Yes I will wait too. They are just 3 months old and like 90% feathered. Will see the outcome. Just hoping we have more females than drake's
