Sexing Pekins
How do I sex a pekin? Is it their voice or just growth.
When does the drake feather appear?
I want to know because there is an add on kijiji regina with a Pekin female and 2 males-I only have one pekin that is about 2 months old and I don't know if I should buy the other 3 or not (I do NOT want to be stuck with 3 drakes and a hen!!)
Thanks

Re: Sexing Pekins
Two months may still be too young but the ducks make a quack quack and the drakes make a hoarse bubbling sound.

Re: Sexing Pekins
Thanks.
I'm thinking it is a male due to its size and voice.
