Breed and gender?(Israel)

[Ameer894]

HI
I'm not jewish I live in Israel

I have questions to you:
1) Is this the final color of my ducks? They are about 2 months old
2) what the gender of each and how can I know?
3) What breed is this?

THANK YOU!!

Hi, Ameer894,

From the body length, bill shape and feet, I would say you have three lovely Muscovies.

The colors are probably pretty close to what they will be at full adulthood.

I do not raise them myself, so I hope some Muscovy people will check in and help you figure out if you have drakes, ducks or both.

Thanks a lot.

They are beautiful Muscovy, and

I see 2 months looks like the light colored are much bigger than the blk or is it just the pic?

Yes, Muscovy ducks!

From left to right,
Lavender, Drake
Black, Hen
Lavender Pied, Drake

It's sometimes hard to tell genders in pictures so that's a guess. But you can tell for sure in person based on size. The BIG ones are males, the small ones are females

 

[Miss Lydia]

Looks like they may need some more ducks.

Looks like they may need some more ducks.

Ameer894, you may already know that it is safer for the ducks (females) to have one drake to three or more females.

I forgot !
We will "eat" one male and leave the other two to grow and reproduce ... (So we preserve their safety) ^_*
