How can you tell the sex of baby Mallard Ducks??

Question

I don't know if I can, don't Males have orange feet and Females have brown.
We have two ducks about a week old,
One is bigger and has brighter feet, we think it maybe the male, and the other a female,
or does it not make a different 

We want to name them :D 
and it would be nice if we know the sex

Apparently, at this age, it is rather difficult unless you are an expert at inspecting the "vent" or genital organs.  It is said that even vets have a hard time, as vets are not really "into ducks" much.  After 4-6 months, I'm told the males get the beautiful green head and the females do not.  Then, later, the males lose their green color temporarily, and look like females, but then get the color back.  Hope this  helps - all I know is I have 2 also and don't know and can't tell their gender either.  Have fun - aren't they wonderful??!!

Male Mallards have green on their heads,blue and brown body with no spots.

Female Mallards have more brown, and more spots.
