The temperature does not define the sex. The sex is defined at conception, by the ova, before the eggs are laid. There is no way you can tell which they will be before they're hatched. Statistically, there are more female ducks hatched than males in a single clutch. Other than that, keep them at about 40 degrees centigrade and turn them once a day, and they should do just fine :)
