I have to pekin ducks that I think are a duck and a drake; how do I tell for sure? when can I tell for sure? what age will she lay? what age will they breed? Any advice or information would be great :-)

I also have to Saxony bantams coming; the drake is 12months the duck is 10 weeks; when can I put them together? when will they breed? When will she lay? How do you sex them? any information and advice would be great.

The ducks (females) quack loudly even from a young age 4-5 week onwards and the drakes (males) make a lower grumbling sound. Also the drakes tail feather curls at maturity.

Saxony have very distinct differences in their voices from drakes and ducks like the pekins but the sounds are different. The ducks is like a honk, deep and loud The drake is very quiet and low
