How is this even possible when there are no exterior sex organs on ducks and they all make the same peeping type sound?

There are a few different ways:
-Feather color: Some breeds have different feather colors differentiating males and females
-Behavior/voice: Male ducks will produce a more distinct quack or vocalization compared to females, who oftentimes sound softer. Males oftentimes are more territorial and more assertive
-Tail feathers: as females and males turn a few months old, some breeds may have differences in their tail feathers. Males tend to have curled/elongated feathers, and females will have shorter and less pronounced ones
-Vent: Only performed by professionals, you can check the opening (where the waste comes out) to identify differences in the shape/size/distance
What I know from experience is that male ducks grow faster than female ducks and that’s how we identified them
Edit: also bigger feet for males
