3 month old duck joining 1 year old duck?

Please let me know how this goes for you! I will be in the same boat in a few months. I am hoping to add another drake to my one year old drake, but I am terrified he won’t get along as he has always had a female of the same age alongside him.
Ok, I have recently shown my little female duckling to my older muscovy duck. At first glance, the older duck seemed to have mixed interest, leaving sometimes, and returning sometimes. However, I found it interesting that upon taking the duckling out to the garden, the oler duck came to the aera, almost sensing the duckling. It started to rain, so we left, however found the older duck was following us. Im still unsure weather the older duck is female or male, however I have not see a curl in the tail, Ill post a picture to show you guys who have more experience with ducks, however did not chase the duckling either. So far, I think they have donde good progress for the first day. I can see them imprinting soon. The older duck had a partner, however we lost the partnner over the weekend :(

, so I guess the older one was excited to see another duck. I still however, dont know which gender the older duck is for sure. Ill post a picture below, and will keep you guys posted. Picture taken 2 weeks ago.
 
Both ducks pictured are Muscovy drakes . Muscovies do not get the drake curl that the mallard derived breeds have. What breed is the new duckling ? Muscovies and mallard derived ducks 'speak' a different language.
Thanks for clearing that out, as I never knew which was which. The duckling appears to be yellow with black spots on her head. So, Im guessing this is a Muscovy.
