I have made the same observation in 2 different breeds of my ducks. One was a buff orpington mix that was one of 2 females that lost their male partner and now she has the male tail feather and acts like a male. I also have 2 male mallards that were siblings with no other mallards around. Now one of the males has lost his male coloring and tail feather and taken on female characteristics.

Can someone explain why this duck was laying eggs and now doesn't?Why this ducks quack became very soft and now has a Drake feather?This duck also mates with the two younger, female ducks.  I have a real mystery on my hands.

I am also looking for some information about this.I have a pair of dark silver call ducks similar in colour to Mallards.I have had them 7 years and this year the female has changed her feathers to that of the drake and her loud quack has quietened to that of a call drake.I know a sex change is fairly common in chickens and pheasants usually due to an infection or tumour in the ovary.

No it's not possible because Pekin Duck does not change sex. Pekin Ducks are used as meat and egg source in many countries of the world. Their origin is China and they were brought to USA in last century. Now in USA, these are 95% of the total duck meat.
Although sexing is difficult in the chicks but can be identified. Common method is venting. You can squeeze the cloaca of your Pekin Duck to cause feces. This will enable you to see the genital organs.
