Quiet, the Drake rarely make any sound. Female duck will quack or make sounds when excited or frightened.
The diff btw male & female duck.
Male ducks have a little tail feather that curls at the tip of his tail. He will usually follow behind her & be the quieter of the two.
When he wants to lead her, you'll see her bop his head up & down to communicate with her & quack softly at her to get her to go where he wants to lead her.

It's quite easy to rear a DUCK you should give it a try 😉
Thank you 😊
