In English there are no masculine or feminine forms. English uses gender specific nouns for male or female, for example:

The gender specific noun for a female duck is hen.

The gender specific noun for a male duck is drake.

The noun 'duck' is a common gender noun as a word for a male or a female of the species.

It appears that regionally in the US a female duck may be referred to as a susie or grayduck, and a male as a greenhead, although this may specifically refer to mallards, and primarily along the Mississippi delta.

duck IS the feminine form of drake.

The term 'duck' is often used specifically to mean one of the domesticated varieties of the mallard or wild duck of both genders. To be absolutely correct the male is a drake.

Ducks can either be male or female. The male is usually the more colorful than the female.
