Duck gender?

[louiseschwieker]

I have 2 ducks who both supposedly hatched April 27th (2 months old?) The white one is a pekin and the brown one is a khaki Cambell. Or that's what they were sold to me as. Can you tell the gender at this age or is it still too early? And what signs should I look for? Thanks!

Campbell is a drake, still to young on the Pekin.

How can you tell on the cambell?

KC is a drake. Voice sexing is the only accurate way to determine the gender of the Pekin at this age: males will make low raspy sounds whereas females make the loud, stereotypical quacks. Pretty ducks.

At this age, bill color and the darker colored feathers over the tail are what tell drake for KCs.

The solid head pattern is male specific.

I hope the pekim isn't a boy. It sucks for the Campbell. We have chickens so we can't have stakes with them
