A male duck is called a drake. A female duck is not called a drake (duck or hen)
Drakes (male ducks) of most breeds have a 'drake feather' on top of their tale, a feather that looks like it has been curled with curling tongs... The markings of drakes are different than those of the ducks in most breeds.
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
Females quack

It depends on what kind of duck it is... but most of the time no, you can't tell if a duck is male or female from the size of their head.... you can rarely tell by their head shape. (:
Ducks (females) quack, drakes do not. They can also be vent-sexed if you know how to do it.
Females quack

The male would have an outty and the female an inny
No difference
you do it
They both look alike, so you can't tell the difference.
You must have the duck sexed. The best way to get this done is by contacting an avian vet.
