    Muscovy sex?

    Hen. Hens develop wing feathers much faster than drakes. Also, if you look at the length of her body (starting just after her wings/legs) it is more compact as compared to a drakeling. Voice at this age is the same fir both sexes, so not an indicator.

    Raising and caring for ducklings
