One of the newborn Khakis and one Pekin...
 
Hey guys, a friend of mine just gifted me with 5 pekins hatched on Thursday. Is there any way to tell gender on these cuties? So far they all look the same except one is slightly larger and MUCH louder and more vocal.

When they're a little older you can voice see them.. females quack, like the AFLAC duck the males have a soft low grunt.
 
I don't know how to physically sex them, but the voice sexing can be done fairly soon later on the males will grow a drake feather on their butt.. it's one or two feathers on its tail that will curl back to the front ... like somebody took a curling iron to its tail.. The voice will be very noticeable though.

Looking at Drake 2 I'd say not. A defining Characteristic of a Pekin is it's beek and feet. Ducklings have pale yellow beeks and orange legs and feet.
 
I'm guessing more Indian Runner..

Though the last picture, looking at it's feet and the way it's grabbing the floor, almost like a Muscovy.
