Answers:
You will have to wait a while before you can see a difference in the gender of the ducks. As they mature, you will notice that the male ducks are more colourful in their head gear...their combs and fleshy area around the head and bill are usually red or some sort of colour other than the earthy tones of the females. And when they finish growing the males could be a tad larger than the females.
they just got to know you, wait for a while and they will. Guy ducks are bigger than girl ducks
you need to let it get used to you,it takes time, and tou need to flip them over and feel their belly if two bones are close it is a boy,if far it is a girl.
you have to wait until they are older to tell the male will have a drake feather (a feather near its but that curls and cant be flattened) give them time to get used to theur enviroment and you theyll start to like you my duck follows me but she still likes to bite my lips, arm, eyes, toes, etc
