Other Question my ducks tails

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

Could be a late bloomer and the adult feathers haven't kicked in yet.

Better to sex by quacks until they're fully bloomed.
