[rainbowchicks]

Thank you everybody. Everything i bought from tractor supply this year... has turned into another surprise!! Its like christmas!!! Haha

According to the mallard forum they are rouens not mallards lol my husband thought they were mallards.

Next question!! Do you guys think Cupcake is a male or female?

 

[Ghibli]

I've heard that male Muscovies grow much bigger than the females, maybe you could figure out from size?

 

[rainbowchicks]

I cant really say if its big or small? I have cupcake, and Khaki, a khaki campbell. Khaki started honking, so im pretty sure she is a girl... however very little. Very different breeds from what I am reading

 

[Wobbles]

Muscovies are harder to sex for a while and they mature more slowly than other ducks. If you take more pics of cupcake standing and post them in the muscovy thread you may get some help

I am no good at sexing them...we had five last year and all ended up being boys.

In pekins i have nevr debated on size

 

[TheTwoRoos]

My drake would quack as a baby,but turns out he was a boy.They make nore of a whap sound

 

[TheTwoRoos]

Moscovies are mean,so be redy.But the older they get you will here a hiss cone from the males and the hens make a pipping sound and are usually quite.

She... it... whatever cupcake is is actually making a pipping noise. Especially when it comes to her bath time, or I bring her a treat. Like worms. She goes crazy. She hasnt really become mean yet. I hope she doesnt. I have noticed, she kind of rules our little khaki.
