When ducks are adults, you can look for the easy to tell "sex" feather on a male. This is a feather at the top of the base of the tail that has a curl in it. It curls down towards the birds back. If the bird is a male it will have this sex feather.

When a feather is in the water, it gets wet and absorbs some water.

Otherwise the feathers on the duck would get heavy with water and make it impossible for the duck to stay on top.
