About 3 - 3 1/2 months ago I bought 3 muscovy females after finding out that two of my four ducklings were drakes. I think that Venus is a girl but am not sure. A little info on Venus: She was born in October 2016, she weighs 6.6lbs, she keeps mounting all of my ducks(except boys), I do not know if she has layed an egg yet but she is the only one of my three muscovies that isn't broody. As a comparison, my other two muscovies that I got from the same farm and are shown in the pictures below weigh 5.6lbs(Comet) and I have an extremely tiny one who weighs only 3.5 lbs(Nebula). None of them have grown since coming to my farm. Nebula started laying about 2 months ago and Comet started laying about 1 month ago. They are starting to molt and I haven't been getting any eggs from my 7 female ducks since. Venus, who is my one in question, is also the most aggressive of my ducks. She will thrust her head foward while hissing and bite my ducks. I can't go off of voice because all three have never cooed before. All three mostly hiss, I have only heard once a different sound from Comet and Venus and little Nebula goes around pipping during the day. None of them have bright red masks either, they are all pinkish - red. I hope that this is enough info. Thanks to anyone who helps. If you need more info I will be glad to share it.
