Hen or Drake? Confused, Acts like Both

[Blue Andalusian]

We hatched around 8 Ducklings in June 2024, and we now we have 6. Anyway, we have 4 Males and 2 Females. But, We're confused about One of our Ducks Genders. His/Her's name is Fluffy Jr. He/She acts like a Female, and the other Males mate with them (My mom thinks He's just the Lowest in the Pecking Order). But, Fluffy Jr also mates with the other 2 Females. He also looks like a Female, and barely has any curl on his Tail. So, We are wondering if he's a Hen or Drake. I read up on this thing in a book, Where they hatch. They can have the Same Gender, but. Its Rare, Its the only thing I can think of. If anybody can Help me, That'd be Great. I have 1 Picture of Fluffy Jr when She/He was Little and then 1 Very Low Quality Picture of Her/Him grown up, If you need Photos. Just ask, and I'll give those to you

Pictures would definitely help!

I have taken in roosters from others and when they were in a kennel I have seen some roosters getting bred by other roosters.

I believe his mom was a Buff, and And I know his dad was a Black Swedish

Also a Edit: We found 3 different colored duck eggs in the coop, but we only have 2 females. Which makes me think he might be Both, But I don't know

Ducks are very fluid behavior-wise. Hens and drakes can most certainly act like each other.

Kind of looks like a boy to me in that adult photo. The easiest teller would be voice, though. Does this duck sound like the boys or sound like the girls?

Do you intend to lower the amount of boys you have, or get more girls? Boys mating boys is dangerous, and having more boys than girls is dangerous, too.

More like the Males

Our pond can only handle around 5 ducks, maybe 6. So, we're gonna Butcher. I just wanted to make sure Fluffy Jr wasn't a Hen, or we'd be Butchering a Hen. Which we don't want

We've had alot more Males then Females at one time, So. I have had a Situation of Over-mating, Once apon a time. So, I'm Aware of Over-mating. And stuff like that
