Bill Size

[davekrista]

Just curious, does the size of the bill on a pekin duck help determine sex? I have 1 duckling that has a bill that is noticable bigger than the others.

It could be a growth spur and the rest will catch up later. It could also be a mixed duckling with another breed in it like Muscovy. Can't go by size. I had hatches with big girls and then with big boys, or all the same all within the same breed. I guess you have to wait until they are around 7 weeks of age for their voice changes. Or you can steel their dignity and look under the hood.
