It's been that long since we have had ducks here , the only thing I have a vague memory of was the females had a round head and the males had a slightly larger more oval shaped head . I think some people go by the sound they make and some breeds the bill colour is different .

I normally wait until their voices change at around 6 weeks old. Before that, I just have no idea. Apparently you can vent sex them. The thingy of ducks are more prominent than chooks. You may have to give it a try.
