Pekin sexing?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

Hi!  I've noticed with Roman & Emden goslings, that the darker ducklings are more likely to be females.  Do you think that is true with Pekin ducks?  It seems like it is true to me, at my humble level of inexperience!

Love the avatar! Also no this is not true. Those breeds of geese are bred to have down difference at birth to help distinguish. This is not a trait that the pekin carries.

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?
