.. Your probably right...It's colour is Appleyard or very close..

True but bill gives it away

It is so cute!!! It is to young to tell. As it gets older the chirp will become more like a quack if it is a female if it is a male then it will have a raspy quack and will have a curled tail feather.

Not with Muscovies. And that does appear to be a Muscovy.

You can still voice sex. But the difference develops a little later, and the males begin to hiss while the females peep.

As already mentioned, male muscovies do not get a drake feather.

Agree with table4six. At this time (based on bill shape, which is iffy) seems more likely to be a drake.

I usually go by where legs sit under the body. Since females legs sit closer together than males but hey it’s still very hard for me at times to decide on sex when that young even though I have had Scovy since 2004.

I agree, looks like a Muscovy. Color = barred black. Sex, I have no clue.

I was thinking Scovy from the beginning.

Sorry...forgot it was a Muscovy!! I knew it was from the beginning but just forgot not to add that info. Thanks for pointing that out!
