Help! Determining gender and sex of my two ducks.

[faithsbrood]

I think you have 2 handsome mixed breed drakes.

Ps. Gender and sex are basically the same thing.

Arghh! Didn’t mean to say that. Was trying to speak to sister while typing

Hello I was wondering if anyone could tell me the gender of these Muscovy ducks please. They are about 7 weeks old in this picture..

I don’t know much about Muscovies, I'm pretty sure @Miss Lydia has a few.

At 7 weeks there should begin to be size difference in drakes and females. Females make a trilling sound drakes begin to huff. If you can post better pics of them standing that may help. Plus females have rounded short bodies compared to drakes which look streamlined from top of head to tail. And females legs are set close together where drakes are wider apart.
They sure are pretty.
