The drake makes a slightly different noise and will have a curl in his tail. He will also be the one on top
Cheers and good luck, Paul

No, the one on top can be a girl, as I have discovered, much to my amusement!
All my ducks are girls, even though I thought I was buying a boy and 3 girls. So as far as white ducks go, even those that breed them can't tell the difference.
Apparently the male has a wider beak! Oh yeah?

Easy. Gather them all together and tell them you're going to eat all of their eggs. Most of them will look at each other and start a commotion. The one which is sitting slightly apart, casually cleaning the dirt from its webs and making no noise at all, is the drake.

discreetly (unless in Norfolk)
