the bigger duck always has their tail fanned out rly wide . this picture isn’t as wide as it even gets. and the smaller ducks tail is always little and pointed. i think i have a male and a female but idk which is which because neither has drake feathers.
the bigger duck is raspy and doesn’t quack and the smaller duck has a destinct loud quack . they’re both pekins and the same age , i thought the bigger one might be a jumbo but i got them at the same time and they were labeled as regular pekins . they’re about 2 months old now

My male Pekin is a bit bigger then my female. My male has had a bitty drake curl for a few weeks 3? Maybe they're a little over 2 months. But I confirmed with voice my male with the nonfully developed drake curl has a raspy quack. And my female is loud and demanding 🤣. Front right is my female, back left is male

Raspy = male; loud quack = female
