The breed will have a light green shimmer to their heads no matter if male or female. The males will make a soft, whisper noise when a female makes a loud, scratchy quack. When their about 15 weeks old, you'll be able to tell their gender because the males will start to look like this

when females will stay the same. Until then, they'll all look the same. Drakes will have a brighter and more solid color bill while females have a dark muddy brownish orange bill. Hope that helps! :) Here's a picture of both breeds:
