Hi, you will find once they have their voices that only ducks "quack" loudly- drakes will sound like they have a sore throat! Once fully feathered the drakes will also get two curly feathers on their tails- but they sometimes take a while to develop- it is easier to tell by voice- the ducks will also be much more vocal and louder than the drakes. Hope this helps :)
regards, David :)
