    If they didn't sell it as one sex or the other there's really not an easy way to tell until it gets larger, and then if it's an all white variety it may still be tough. You could tell on many species by looking at bumps on the cloaca, but at a young age it can be tough to tell and it's somewhat of an invasive process that most people don't care for. With normal coloration you'd be able to tell fairly soon by the color patterns, since this sounds like a domestic albino version of some species again that may be tougher. Eventually if it's male it will be quite obvious when parts are visible, if that never happens eventually you can assume female.

    Duck and chicken as buddies, think you watched too many episodes of Friends.8)

    Little tough to tell at the young age but most likely a domesticated breed of mallard, should be fun - very social breed.
