    Indian Runner duckling - is this a tail curl?

    Hey does my duckling look like a boy? Hoping she's a girl because she's loving my flock, but if she's a boy I am concerned about mating. She's in between 1 and 2 months so can't tell by the quack. Very new at ducks, maybe I just need to be patient
