The easiest way to determine the gender of a duck is by the feathers, if you are dealing with a breed that displays sex-distinguishing colors. If there is no obvious difference in the feather colors, look at the tail feathers. In some breeds, the males' feathers curl up a bit at the base of the tails.

∙ 14y agoYou really dont know yet when they are duckligns, you have to wait till they are adults. If one has a green head its male, if it has a brown head its a female. ducks are not like dogs or humans

∙ 15y agoWell, the male is like any other duck, it has curled tail feathers.As for the female , the ducks I own are mallard hens and a male and the females are brown witch means they are discolored, so maybe the female pekin duck is dicolored or they are white just without curled tail feathers. This is all I know but i hope it helped a bit.

∙ 12y agoUnlike most other ducks, you can't tell the gender of a Cayuga by their coloring. The only way I know of is when they get older, a male Cayuga duck develops male sex feathers on the main tail. These feathers should be fairly hard and curl upwards from the rest of the tail feathers, and there is usually two or three of them. On a female these feathers would be straight and flat.

A male duck is called a drake.

The markings of drakes are different than those of the ducks in most breeds.
