Drake or hen?

I don't have much experience with ducks other than Muscovies, but I think the hens quack, and the drakes make more of a raspy noise.
I think weather or not they have drake feathers would be a sure sign.
It doesn't look like either one of them have drake feathers in the video.
 
Definitely has a Drake feathr. I was going to pluck it out when we had a Drake to see if it would regrow, but now it has several. I’ve had them for a few months now. I was hoping Brown one was a Drake as I don’t have one anymore. But then it quacked.

That's so strange. It sure looks like a drake but sounds like a hen. Did you say you checked the eggs and they weren't fertilized? My gut says it's just a drake that doesn't follow the rules.

Yes I’ve been checking and no bullseye. However I have noticed only in past few days brown duck mounting the others in pond in water. But I’ve also seen my pekin hen doing it lately too (I think they’re all going a bit crazy after loosing Drake and spring being here). I’ll keep on checking eggs.
