The kids want to enter some of the ducks in the local show next month. Two questions - will we be able to sex them by then? They will be 10-11 weeks old by then. The other question is would they be light or heavy breed? Khaki Campbells, KC cross and something else - dark with lighter coloured edging (pencilling?) on the feathers, but all about the same size.

They only entered ducks which may be a mistake - but don't know if anyone will be able to tell in another 4 weeks or not - they will be 12 weeks old by then.
