8-9 week old Muscovy sexing. Cute pics inside :)

[NHUH]

Hi guys. So I adopted a momma and these two babies. She had 4 babies I got to take two. Out of the 4, these two were the smallest, just by a little.

I have my suspicions on the sex but I would love to hear your opinions please

@oldhenlikesdogs, @Miss Lydia , @learycow, and @Claires Poultry might like to guess!

They are cute!

I think they are both females.

I think they are both females.

Wouldn’t that be nice
I do have to correct the age. I think she said they are around 7 weeks now.
Thank you for your answer oldhenlikesdogs

They are as lovely as can be, as are both Karen and your adult Muscovy hen!

They are absolutely beautiful! I'm thinking they might be hens. What do you think they are @NHUH

Nibs is definitely a girl in my opinion, Nougat is standing a little wider apart, less wing development and is very friendly and more adventurous, so in comparison to Nibs, Nougat has more male attributes. But that doesn’t have to mean anything Time will tell I guess. I am enjoying this little family a lot. Momma took them into the house at 7:30pm last night, their first night. Good duckies

That was my initial thought too, but than I compared wing feather growth and they look similar. Females will get wing feathers faster than males.

I would guess Nibs to be male, but only because the legs are thicker than Nougat's.
