It's sounding like a female to me but the drake feather should prevent itself by 16 weeks and confirm either way. Good luck. I might start leaving our drakes out at night. Our ratio boys to girls is off and until I re-home two of them I've got to do something. Thank you. PRECIOUS!! What a...

Is it a raspy call? Has he/she molted yet?

Interesting about the drakes. Is there a reason you don't put them up at night?
