Drake or hen?

Most of that video was brown one making noise. Pekin joined in for a second. I’ll try to seperate

It's a drake.

Of course it doesn’t want to talk when it’s by itself

Most brown one

It's a drake.

I hope so. Is this because of appearance or sound? Or both?

Some drakes, especially young drakes, have a louder voice than others - some have a more whispery voice. He sounds like a drake, and everything physically - color, bill color, tail curl indicates that he is male.

Thanks! I’ll be able to keep a look out for fertile eggs hopefully soon!

I've actually got a video of my KC drake...making plenty of noise as usual for you to compare. He's about 6 mos. old

Yes this is what my pekin drakes sound like. My brown is about a year old now I think. I guess I’ll just have to see what the eggs tell me.

That’s amazing never heard a drake of mine make that much noise it’s always a raspy whisper. That’s really cool!
