Is this a Jumbo Pekin?

[Carrosaur]

Toaster is five weeks old on Friday, these are my first two ducks so I don't know how fast or how big a Pekin is supposed to grow! She barely fits in both my hands at this point and it's almost work to carry her up and down the stairs because she is getting so heavy, the brown duck will be four weeks on Friday.

Ducklings grow FAST! I don't know how to tell Pekin from jumbo, myself. But do be sure to give her good nutrition, and watch out for the health of her legs, too - they can get strained. A friend who has Pekins recommends making sure they don't have to hop up or down - so she sets the kiddie pool down into the soil so they can just step in to it.

I try not to let them jump, the picture of them swimming they literally ran away from me straight into my pool and I had to wait for them to jump out... Oops. And I think she has always had more of an orange beak, rather than pink. The Pekin is not very fast at all.
