I'm torn it sounds kind of honking but maybe not legit quack I'm not sure. It's my first duck.

a male duck (drake) sounds like he has larengitis (sp). he will never make the
quacking sound.
pekin drakes have more of a flat portion on their head. the females heads are unmistaably round.

and the males will develope a couple of really curly feathers on their back just ahead of the tail.

I can't tell by the picture, but he looks like a he to me..

I've always called him a he and now I'm not sure. He doesn't have the curly feathers. Is he too young to have them yet?

Yeah, youll have to wait a few more weeks for that. The best and earliest way to tell is the voice. If he is honking a bit, that may be the quack coming out
Pekins are hard to tell by colour, sorry

So he like chirps still but when I leave the room he is super loud does that mean he's probably a she?
