Hello, someone left/lost a duck and never claimed it.. i have it in the isolation coop, i would live to know the gender.. I only have 3 other ducks and I have no idea how to tell the gender of this one..
Thank you very much
That boy may be a wild [ferral] muscovy drake. He may had flown in rather than been left by a person.
Where are you based? Are you going to keep him as a back yard duck? He may chose to fly away again in the spring unless you clip his wings.
I love muscovy -- they are intelligent and one of mine is wily!!! I pick up both my muscovy drakes when necessary, without problems although wily one doesn't like being picked up . That is probably because he is a big lump of duck and it is likely to be uncomfortable. He prefers that I sit next to him on steps and loves to be petted and to preen my hair!
