Thanks - I kinda of thought they might be mascovy mix.

they migt be purebred. They look like juvenile scovies, and judging by the size of their feet at least the front one is a female.

How do you tell? I know that they don't have the curl.

The girls have smaller feet than the boys and are way smaller.If they weigh 6 pounds or less they should be girls if they weigh more they are more than likely boys. Muscovy drakes also are "noiseless" they only make a quiet hissing like sound while females chatter a whee bit louder.
Here is a picture of my teenaged drakes

and here is headshot of them

See how big their feet are?
