Beaker the Muscovy...boy or girl?

[DonaldFan]

This is our newest addition to my rescued ducks. Gave this one the name, Beaker, after the Muppet because that is the sound he/she is always making. Any idea if it is a boy or girl? I'm thinking it's full grown because it has figured out how to fly.

Looks like a hen to me.

Donald, one of my male Pekins thinks she's a girl. Either that or was trying to put her in her place. Thought I'd double check.

I don't know, it could be a girl if it's full grown. But, it looks like a juvenile male to me because of the bulky-looking body.

from pics i have seen my guess is a girl (thats if its an adult) but i really have no clue at all just going off what i have seen in pics

Can you post a picture of him/her from the side showing the thickness of the legs and body length? The small feet makes me think its a hen, but if the body is very long then it could be a drake. Also that looks like the beginning of some large caruncles on its face, a male quality. How old is s/he?

 

[DonaldFan]

Have no idea how old he/she is since it is a rescue. Will try taking more pictures.

Here is a side picture. Not the best, but does it help?

I say girl, one thing legs aren't real thick and tail isn't that long.
