If it walks like a male and quacks like a male then it must be
either a male or a "butch" duck !!!
Sorry--I just couldn't help myself here
and beyond a vet's advice have no clue !!

First of all, with Cayugas, apparently, only the females will begin to show white markings as they age [white flecks by 6 years] never any white on a male Cayuga. Male will be slightly larger. & the males will have the curled "drake" feather on top of the tail [i am pretty sure].
I love ducks :) ....enjoy them

I don't know about cayuga ducks, but in general the duck (female) can make the loud and distinct quack sound, but the drake (male) cannot quack properly, but just makes a hoarse kind of quiet honking. Good luck with your ducks.

If they are adults, you can tell by the quack, the girls will be loud, and the boys will be low and raspy. Also he will have a couple curled tailfeathers.
If they are babies you can check their vents (butts), (it is good to let someone experienced do this for you, you can hurt them if your not carefull ! ) Press on either side till it inverts a bit, and then you will see a tiny corkscrew shaped penis in a boy, and... well, the absence of that in a girl. Hope that helps.

DNA is the only way to be sure which is which.
