Duck,with white feathers
When they are fully feathered, the male will have feathers that curl on his tail and the female doesnt. This is how you tell if they are male or female without handling them
Small, white, down feathers that grow in between flight and contour feathers. They provide insulation for the animals.
Black bellied whistling duck
The same way you do with any other species of duck. The males of any duck species tend to have a lower growlike quack, have more iridescent feathers, may be more aggressive, and have the curly drake feathers on their tails.
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.
Well, 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.
