Does anyone know how to tell if a duck is a drake or female? I have 3 ducks but don't know what they are, not even the breeds.

What is a footers?

2-footers. Two-foot long snakes. Sorry, idiomatic English. A six-foot tall man would be a six-footer.

Post pics in a thread in the forum What Breed or Gender is This? and you'll get answers. In some breeds, a curly tail is a sign of a male but I don't really know.

13 eggs. I usually wear a bib apron with two big pockets, I can easily carry a dozen or more eggs in those pockets and it leaves my hands free, very important because I need at least one cane, sometimes two now. Two canes much better than a walker.

Two foot long snakes. Tiny, as rat snakes go.

I’ve heard that drakes make different sounds from the girls. They’re much quieter I think. I have no personal experience with ducks yet though, which is lamentable. They are adorable!

They are so stinky. They're also louder and messier than chickens. I don't recommend getting ducklings at all.
