Need help sexing 6 week old muscovy duckling

[A little Daffy]

I have a 6 week old muscovy duckling and I want to know or have an idea what gender it might be. I never had ducks before and haven't got a clue how to vent sex or what to look for. My duckling did start developing feathers around the tail quils (if thats what they are called) just before 3 weeks old. I have tried my best to get good angles of it but it likes to move around alot.

So cute! Where did you get the daisy water-fall bucket? Love it!

Did you try vent sexing?

I did try but my oldest put up a fight and wouldn't let me but my little one I tried it on and it looked like a girl (no penis popped out)

but I do think my oldest is a boy because of how big and the manly stand its got now

Hope your right. Did you wrap the oldest in a towel so you had better control?

I love my drakes, they can be a pain in the butt at certain times of the year but they can also be the sweetest.

I did wrap him up but he managed to get out and pecked at me and ran off but came stomping back after a second for love. Funny little thing

He just wanted to make sure you weren't going to kill him and eat him lol

I too have 3 Muscovy ducks that hatched 3 weeks ago. They are a hoot. I can't believe how quickly they are growing!
The wild ones that I've watched grow up didn't display any special characteristics (special features) until they were quite big. Then I could tell by their bill. I'm new to all of this as well and this is my first time raising too.
One thing I've learned, and very quickly, is that they poop A LOT!
