Do male AND female muscovies honk?

[Krystal1983]

So I have 3 muscovies. One I know has to be a female cause I hear her trill a lot. My other 2 I never hear trill but I have heard them both honk (mainly when I am trying to pick them up and pet them). I havent heard any hissing though. They will be 12 weeks this coming Monday. They are all close in size and feathering is pretty much the same so I am thinking they are probably all females. I know its hard to tell at 11 weeks but I was curious what people think about the absence of trilling with the 2 but hearing honks. Sweetpea, the one I know is female, never honks. Just curious of opinions. Like I said earlier I think they are all females but still early to tell I think. The one in the pool is a honker. Lol What do you think?

Look like all girls to me. Once males reach maturity the only sound they are capable of making is their hissing huffing sound.

They do look female. My females will honk sometimes. Generally when they don't like another one of the ducks messing with them. I don't hear it often though.

They are rich. Unfortunately, I can't eat them though as they upset my stomach.
