Female Muscovy??

[rosiesgirls]

I just got 6 Muscovies and am trying to figure out the sexes. They're only about 2 months old so really hard to tell. They ALL raise a crest to some degree, but 2 are definitely larger than the others. Is there any other way to tell?

Females don't have a crest, so you may have all males.

@farmerbrowne I think you might have girls, they look small framed compared to the males which are much stockier birds. This is a close up of my girls face and they are just a few months older than yours.

and then just to compare her to the male at slightly younger than yours are currently, he was always bigger than them and caraculs quite developed.
