A quacking drake??

I'd say female, unless you actually saw a penis?

Um, I didn't get that close!! Can you check a full grown duck for a penis like the babies?

No but if he is breeding his Penis will definitely be showing

X2 it will be obvious, generally when he falls off the hen

There will be no doubt when you actually see the penis btw. I was not prepared for what I saw on my sweet Leonard.

Never ever again.

You could look for a penis if you want. People sex waterfowl when they are adults. Or you can just wait till it happens again and get close enough to look.

Well, filling the water tub with fresh water seems to stimulate breeding activity so I'll see what happens! I'll keep you posted. Thank you everyone!

OK so I have tried on multiple occasions to observe for a penis when (s)he is mounting the KKs. I haven't been able to see one, though it's hard to get a really good view when it's happening. (S)he is still quacking away. I actually caught him/ her and tried to extrude a penis (no small feat since she's larger than a pekin and weighs about 12 lbs) but all I got was some runny liquid and poop. And a kick in the face with a very large webbed foot. To be honest, I had a heck of a time even finding a hole in all her butt fluff. I finally had to just dig around and find it by feel But either she has no penis or my skills at extrusion are insufficient. What is a relatively easy task on a wee duckling is way harder on a full sized duck. I really needed 4 hands. Later than same day, when I filled up the water tub, the Pekin drake got on HER back and mated her. Or him. Whatever. I don't know. Either I have a butchy hen or a transvestite drake. If I ever get 4 eggs in one day I will know she's a she and just confused. Until then...
