Rescue Duck help

[Glennmm]

Aww so pretty and look at it's little back boy those chickens were brutal.. So glad your dh brought the lil one home.. As for sex 2 things first Drakes and females look alike until drakes molt into their nuptial plumage that is when he'll get his beautiful green head and coloring females stay the same and the drake will get a curl on his tail feathers.

But the first telltale sign will be voice the females quack loudly and the drakes sound like they have a cold their quack is very raspy. The voice starts coming in around 6-8 weeks or longer. Depending on the breed. So you have a bit of a wait about sex. It sure is a cutie though.

Thank you for your reply. He is quiet and raspy for sure. Thought it might be due to an injury. We'll see for sure when/if his colors come in.
