Ducklings questions

[WannaBeHillBilly]

I think the yellow one is a White Layer, her bill and legs are not orange like they should be for Pekin duck, she looks exactly like the WL from my Spring Duckling gang.
If you hear her quaxing (peep, peep, peep, quax!) i am even more sure she is a White Layer, mine started to quax with two weeks.

female getting adult voice sound like this

She was 23 days old, but that's considered early.

What’s a white layer? She doesn’t make much noise unless she’s hungry or if she gets separated from the brown one

The brown one sounds squeakie and is always quacking and alway follows the yellow one, the yellow one is louder but doesn’t make much noise and is bigger than the brown one

If you make a video of them making noises we might be able to tell what sex they are.

You can't sex them till they quack or rasp..
Hens quack loud and Drakes are raspy..The one is possibly a KC but the other is a Pekin or white layer.

She has a pink beak though I thought Perkins have orange beaks!m?

Well they are white and actually duel purpose for meat too but not as big as Pekin Ducks.

Yes...Pekin have orange bills and legs. I only said Pekin because I didn't want arguments but I believe it's a white layer.

White Layer ducks are a breed, created by Metzer Farms in CA especially grown to lay plenty of eggs. They look like Pekin Ducks but are much smaller - and are not suffering from leg and hip problems due to be much lighter. I have four of them and they are just - goooofy!

Here they are called white meat Ducks or Alberta meat Ducks by old timers...
