I have been told that apart from venting them which seems to need someone who knows what they are doing that ducks quack (from six weeks of age) and drakes squawk. Mine are only two weeks old so waiting to see how true that is. There are also differences in the bill when they are older and drakes of course are bigger - will come back to you when I have worked it all out out too!! :)
I have runners too. This is what I have noticed. Drakes will have a very hoarse sounding quack and the ducks will have a loud normal quack. Also, the drakes will have a distinct curl on the tail feather. I haven't noticed any difference in their bills nor in their feet as one person told me.
Venting is a bit of a challenge. I can't seem to keep my birds still enough to even try. I have a book that says the male organ will protrude a bit from the vent area after a second or two of checking whereas the female organ will stay kinda curled up inside the vent. Hope this extra helps. Good luck everyone.
I have 9 ducks and one Indian Runner named Lucy. She stands up very tall. It takes Indian Runner ducks to mate about 6 months to mate. They become teenagers in about the 4th month. 2 months later, they are adults. How do ducks mate? The male duck sits on top of the female. Somehow, the female duck lays her egg. She sits on top of her egg until she feels cracking noises. The egg hatches after about 28 days. For an Indian Runner to hatch, it takes about 35-36 days. So, about a month. Anyways, there is your answer.

The feamales quack and the males make more of a hissing sound,when feathered the males have a curl on the base of their tail
Duck female, drake male.
Yes, but ducks mate with ducks and turkeys mate with turkeys. In rare cases, a turkey may hatch from an unfertilized egg, a process called parthenogenesis.
I thought the life span of an Indian Runner was 8 years. However, I have one left and she is still going strong at 12 years!
Ducks don't "mate". They are not monogamous.
For domestic ducks, there are three breeds that regularly come in the color black: Cayugas, East Indies Duck, and black Indian Runner ducks. Ducks are rarely black in the wild except for the Muscovy duck and surf scoter. Some ducks get very dark, such as the American black duck, but aren't really black.
We have several varieties of ducks. They seem to enjoy the winter weather. We have a little house for them to stay in in the winter but they seem to prefer to be outside. They really like the snow. It is kind of neat to watch them play in it. Hope this helps you.

Rarely any mate for life. The Mandarin and the Wood ducks are among the two most popular known ducks to actually mate for life, but most of the other ducks don't.
The duration of The Indian Runner is 2.12 hours.

The Indian Runner was created on 1991-09-20.

The ducks vary in weight between 1.4 and 2.3 kg (3-4 ½ lbs). Their height (from crown to tail tip) ranges from 50 cm (20 inches) in small females to about 66 cm (26 inches) in the taller males. The eggs are often greenish-white in color, but these too vary.

Nothing. Ducks are not tamable, however you can mate two ducks by using wheat and right clicking on two near-by ducks within 30 seconds.
