Male ducks are called drakes. Some people call female ducks hens but this gets confused with chickens. The generic term for ducks of all species (male or female) is duck.

Answer 2

The generic term for ducks of all species (male or female) is duck.

All male ducks (no mater what the species) are called drakes.

All female ducks (no mater what the species) are called ducks.

All baby ducks (no mater what the species) are called ducklings.

Answer 3

Usually, female birds are hens, and male birds are cocks. This leads to the interesting example of the peacock. The peacock is not a species; it is the male peafowl. The female peafowl is called a peahen, and their newly hatched offspring are peachicks. Ask people 'what do you call a female peacock' and many if not most won't realize that you're playing a trick on them.
