jumbo pekin or normal pekin?

Let's see a picture! I don't really know how to judge, but I had the same question when I was raising my three last summer. I have two that look regular, but one has a lower body that droops down much farther than the others. I still have no idea if she's a jumbo or not.
 
Do you have a regular scale? You can always weigh yourself and then yourself with the bird! I've only weighed two of them, and they both weighed ten pounds (and that included the one who looks so much bigger - I thought she would weigh more).
 
here’s them next to a khaki campbell(?) and then some mallards

Looking at your Pekins they could very well be Jumbo. If you have a step on scale you can get their weights by weighing yourself first them hold each one separate and weight then subtract you'll get their weight.
