I was asked by a potential buyer if this Pekin duck is male or female. I know there's not much to go on but doe anyone know? Thanks.
I would Google it in 2 ways.\
1. Search "difference male female pekin duck" (Try this first)
2. Go to Google Images, and search for "male pekin duck"
Open another window or tab and then search "female pekin duck."
View both on same screen. Maybe you'll be able to see a difference.
If neither of these work, find a local birding organization.
They should be able to give you an answer or tell you how
to find the answer.
Note that Google doesn't care about capitalization. Best of luck. >Alan

The best way to determine the sex of any bird is to have a veterinary expert evaluate the cloacal opening of a bird. By inserting a lubricated finger into the bird's vent, the vet can attempt to palpate a penis, which, if present, indicates that the bird is a male. This is an unusual technique for determining bird gender, as only about 3 percent of the living bird species possess penises. Alternatively, the vet can cause the penis to evert by applying pressure to the proper portion of the vent. This is a potentially dangerous technique, which should only be performed by a veterinarian.
My experience has been that Wildlife Biologists and Techs can also do this. Never tried it myself.
As an older man, I know what it's like to have a finger up my vent.
