PLEASE HELP: How do I know or find out if my White Pekins are Jumbo

Quote:
I agree they are LOUD! I didn't think much of this same warning when my pekins were little, but now that they are almost 10 weeks old somedays they quack louder than my barking doberman! But no complaints so far, I only get neighbors yelling AFLAC! when we are in the front yard with them!
 
I have Pekins. I would suggest regular size for your females. From some reading I did the jumbo females are not as fertile. They recommended regular females with jumbo males. You get the size of the jumbo with the high egg laying capacity of the female. All my babies turned out very large.

love_a_duck- Thank you! Yeah they all used to hang out together... and that chicken was supposed to be a hen and turned out to be a rooster! LoL! I ust recently found him a new home because he was getting aggressive with me! So now my boys just hang out with each other!

katharinad- Yeah I got some collars and bells for them so I would be able to hear where they were at at all times because my backyard backs to a field with cyotes and foxes. One however slipped out of his so only one has his on but they are always together so it works too!

LuckyDuck411- LoL thank you for the pre-warning! Hopefully my neighbors, my family, and myself will be ok with the noise since we were all ok with the noise of our rooster crowing all day and even sometimes at night!

SunnybrookFarm- Thanks for the information! This actually helps better because I would really rather have less of a chance of having baby ducklings running around! Hopefully the females I will be getting really will be Jumbo White Pekins!
