Are these pekins or jumbo pekins

[kristina84]

These are my first ducks and are 6 1/2 weeks old. They seem really big to me but since I'm new to ducks I really don't know. There was no label on the bin that I bought them from other than " ducks".

I'd lean jumbo. My jumbo was very large at that age

If that’s a 5 gallon bucket in the background, then I’d say jumbo. Perhaps you can take another picture of them standing next to something that is a standard recognizable size like a human hand or a banana lol

Or weigh one!!! My pekin drakes have weighed only 7lbs. I always think of them as poor thin boys [compared with my great fat lumps of muscovy drakes]. My son's pekins are mostly a little larger than a female muscovy. His crested female is smaller than the others -- the same size as the muscovy female. I think the crested pekin and the muscovy are 7lb, his other female pekins 8lbs and his drake a few ounces larger.
