Okay... So I'm back again! I was being niave and the way that I weighed Zephir and Kephir was by standing on the bathroom scale holding them... Anyway, I now know that's not the way to go! I don't have a scale that would work to weigh them accurately. But I was still questioning whether they were Jumbos or not. By doing some research I found this post:

This post told me everything I needed to know! It was all very informational and I loved that it informed me that the Jumbo's egg are almost geese sized!!! Zephir and Kephir are Jumbo Pekins. I was kinda wondering by looking at Zephir and Kephir how there could be any bigger of duck! Anyway I could tell by the pics that the Jumbos are just more buff! I'm very thankful that my Jumbos don't have leg issues and never have. They have lots of exercise to keep them fit and they have access to a pool 24/7!
