Check out that plumage. Once your tiny ducklings grow to 2 months old, there will be one surefire way to tell the males from the females. Look at your duck's tail. At the very end, there will be one obvious feather, which usually curls down in a very distinctive curl. This is called the sex feather. This feather is located on all male ducks. The feather is present even after a molt, so the season will not deter you from being able to sex your ducks.

Depending on the breed of duck, males in a lot of breeds, once they have reached maturity have a "sex feather", one or more curly feathers on the tail. Females do not have this feather.

If the breed of duck does not have this feather, search other ways on the internet. Most breeds of duck can be sexed by seeing this feather or by the plumage color.
