Peckin gender?

[TXmama4boys]

Hello friends! I have been on here for a while for all of my quail and chicken gossiping… but this is my first time ever having a duck! We welcomed this beautiful 6 week old Peckin into our backyard flock- with its best friend, Cinderella (African Goose). They have been raised together.

I am really struggling to tell the gender of this duck based on its sound. It is like a low honking noise. I believe that we are too young to have drake feathers, correct?

Thank you!

Just by the size I'd guess male. How old is the goose?

Both the goose and the duck are 6 weeks old. I was leaning towards male as well!

Is your goose sexed? I was thinking female on that. The neck isn't too long, but it's young yet.

The goose hasn’t officially been sexed, but we were thinking female based on her sound! She has a very low pitched honking sound.

At 6 weeks a male ducks voice would still be maturing. It would go between peeping, low quack or raspy noises and even whistles. At 6 weeks a females voice would be starting to switch. Females have a more classic quack sound. Some Pekin hens can be quite loud.

No squeaks thus far! I will see if I can snag a video to post on YouTube and share my link.

Thanks y’all!
