Boy or girl Muscovy?

[Oblio13]

I am just not good at guessing.

What type of sounds does it make? Any huffing? Males start making a variety of sounds, but as they mature the only sound is kind of a huff. Females make a variety of sounds includeing a hiss. The females only make a hiss when agitated or broody.

Between my deafness and the rest of the flock, it doesn't make any sounds that I can differentiate. I'll keep trying.

How old is your beautiful Muscovy?

 

[Oblio13]

I don't know, I bought it recently and don't know when it was hatched.

 

[Miss Lydia]

If you can get a picture of this duck facing you with full view?

 

[Oblio13]

Very uncooperative subject, this was the best I could do.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Looks girly to me but what I'd like to see is how her legs sit under her body drakes legs are set apart most female Muscovy legs are set closer together so they almost walk pigeon toed. A full face pic looking straight at her whole body showing would be nice. like this picture so I can see her legs

It can drive ya bonkers trying to figure out sex of these birds.

This bird seems to know I want a head-on shot, and determined to not let me get one.
