Duck----male or female

[Parson's Wife]

I have 4 Pekin ducks....around 6 weeks old....they all look the same...(I haven't checked their vents)

They look the same...2 are larger, and their tailfeathers are the same shape...
Any ideas? The feathering on Peking ducks (male and female) will be the same, correct?
How else? Oh, they sound the same too...no flat out "quacking". Are they still to young?

Here's a picture I took just a minute ago when the rain took a break.

and another

Thank you!

I dont see a drake feather..so i think female. But dont quote me on that...

That would be great!

But even if they were all drakes...would still love'em! They are funny, interesting, and gentle...at least now.
Though...messy.....

It's really too early for the drake curl. Give it a few more weeks and the boys will reveal themselves with a curling tail.

Way too early for drake curl, but you should be hearing quacks by now...maybe all drakes

For what it's worth-PEKIN ducks are creamy white. PEKING duck is brown, crisp & delicious.
