Ducks s*x?

Question

I have 2 one month old Pekin ducks and need to know what s*x they are, the have both grown all thier feathers and have turned from yellow to white completely. One of thier beaks is a strong orange while the other is a light yellow. Does this mean anything? If not how else can i tell if they are male or female.

Hi,

The colour of the beak is no indication of s*x.

The only true method of duck sexing is either vent sexing, (Not recommended to people who have not been taught) Or waiting until the ducklings are 5 months old.

At this time young males will grow a  curl feather at the base of their tails. Only males have these types of feathers.
