My chocolate muscovy... Gender?

Based on the legs, I'd say drakes. They are pretty.
I was surprised at the actual difference in leg size. Everyone had said it but seeing it first hand, wow.

The one on the left looks like drake by looking at legs not sure abvout the other when looking at legs from this angel the left legs look larger. and look at the legs of the white one in the last pic how bulky the legs look.

I know, it's driving me crazy! i agree and in person the one on the right(no white on chest) appears to be a touch smaller overall and in leg sizing... my hens are really small though... Here is a shot of my drake and one of the hens from today you can really see the overall sizing difference, which isn't making this whole figuring out the chocolates gender's any easier, there bigger than my white hens but smaller than the drake but then their younger... again i want that attached gender card lol

Those whites are beautiful and yep can sure tell they are a pair. My 17week seems to have slowed down his growth spurt some. I think now it will be putting on bulk. So hopefully in another week or so you'll know for sure.

Your white pair is gorgeous... I would say the one on the left is drake and if the same age then the other is a hen....
