Put ducky down and the dam and the hawkes or foxes will see that he dowsnt come home at night, sad but true.

To tell the sex of your duck, hold it by the neck upside down, if it does a squawk like a boy with a voice that is breaking it is a drake.

The girls ducks make the most noise from the time they are young, the boy ducks are quiet most of the time.

You will soon be able to tell the sex of both of them. Up tails in ducks with a little curl on the top are drakes. Same with roosters , without the curl, and the roosters will grow their wattles and combs sooner than the hens.
