Don't feel guilty but it sounds like you might just be that lucky. By 10 weeks they should have voice-changed. As for the wing issue, I am sorry I don't know. But I am sure someone here on BYC can help.I have 6 that are 9 or 10 weeks old. I sit out and watch them play constantly but I only hear one that sounds like "he" has a cold. The others sound like my Abigail (adult pekin). I'm just finding it hard to believe I could've gotten that lucky.
Cayugas can be hard to tell the sex of prior to maturity and/or egg laying. That said the male will usually develop a softer quack, sort of raspy, will often develop a greyish/green bill and will, at maturity, develop a drake feather (a feather or group of feathers that curl up on his tail).Is there a way to tell male and female cayugas apart from their head color or beak color?? Cause I know that male ducks are supposed to get green heads and green beaks. But cayugas male or female are green and black all over...... what age can I tell drake or hen and how??
darn... I have a drake Rouen and he was fairly easy to tell the sex cause he got his green head... but its more difficult with my little Cayuga. What age do that get the curl and the raspy quack?? Thanks : )Cayugas can be hard to tell the sex of prior to maturity and/or egg laying.

yeah he still has a duckling peep and his friend is quacking. He is a little over 6 weeks old now. I think its a drake. He is maturing a lot slower then his little friend. Thanks for your help : )my drake while he doesn't have the curled feather yet he has the raspy quack and he's 2.5 months give or take a week and since him and his girlfriend were 5/6 weeks i knew he was a drake as his gf started to quack and he countinued to do the duckling peep and a weird chirping kinda noise but a week or so later he was doing the raspy quack.
so depending on how old yours are you should be able to start voice sexing them pretty easily
