Support Group for Abused Duck Keepers

So the ducklings are 4 weeks old. And i have noticed when they are making the peep peep noises at the end one makes a loud ack sound and the other makes a lower ack sound. If i were to post a video would you be able to tell male to female at this age or would i need to wait another couple weeks?
It really depends on the duck. Even a few that I ordered and picked the breeds started to get a raspy voice and then eventually did turn out as males, and some even started off with that peep quack but then turned raspy.
 
I do know one thing for sure with mine. Whenever I would hear a loud whistle I knew I had a boy for sure. My Mallard boys would do it and so did my Khaki Campbell. I always hated that sound as I wanted Hens and not Drakes.
