sexing Cayuga and Pom Sweden

[stillmecle]

Are there any signs to look for to tell male ansd females on Cayugas and Pom Swedens? ___ I plan on getting some on Wednesday and wanred to know if there were any quick signs. Do the males get the curled feather or what
Hell please

Yes the males eventually get the curly tail feather. They also tend to be bigger as ducklings and have a thicker neck and bigger feet.
When they are really small it's just a crap shoot.

How old are they? If they are past about 5 weeks and you pick one up, the female Cayuga will QUACK and the male will not. That's more useful then the feathering, because some molts will lose the male curled up feather...
