    Male or female???

    Morning Y'all! I am having a really hard time deciding if my 9 week old cayuga is a male or female. Though I'm leaning male given the lack of talking/quietness of the voice vs my khaki Campbell girls who quack loudly. I've also read that typically males have more coloring to their wings vs...
