They also have no problem scaling a wood fence either.Interesting, never had Pekin to compare, i do know the little buggers use their claws as wee ones! my ones being brooded in the house climb the walls of the wood crate!
So any guesses on these? Are they boys or girls?

Who's the biggest? look for longer body, bigger feet/legs... hard for me to tell as i loose perspective with pics online and them separated.. I think i see some drakes and some ducks but again it's hard in shots online.

I love the pic where the one duckling has both it's feet back of it. so cute.
I know hilarious!
Chickie hope this helps,
This is a drakelett just a bit older than yours.
Big head, BIG feet, long legs and looong body.
Boy next to white girl in second pic.
Rounder, more "feminine" head, smaller, rounder body, shorter legs set up under body and smaller feet.
I think the guys look like they have an extra joint in thier legs and carry them further back where females look more like they come straight down.
Males are going to be considerably larger, like half again the size, of females so you should be seeing a marked difference in size.
Your light guy with the barring is a male.
