Hey i need help is this duck a boy or girl i had said its a boy

It looks much better since you rescued it.
I agree with what others have said about feeding it. Provide feed all day and limit corn. Make sure it has water deep enough to dip its head in.
The legs look rather thick for the skinny body. Since it is a muscovy, I am thinking boy. However, give it a few more good weeks of growth and feather growth before settling on it.
Is it the only duck you have?

Alright ,I've been giving him corn all his life I guess I should stop

Definitely needs a proper balance in nutrition. Get a chicken grower feed.

Looks like a boy to me and like others have said pls feed it chicken feed. I get that some areas always just feed them corn. That’s what everyone does around my area also but sometimes you have to do what’s right and not what everyone else is doing for the greater good

Thank you,yes I know It's just I can't afford much so sometimes I only have to feed corn I usually buy feed for growing and fattening wich has vitamins minerals and all but I am actually kinda poor and I'm in a bad situation so I'm just trying my best and asking the ones who know

I get that too. I’m not doing so hot myself lately. Is there anyway you can borrow feed from someone? I worked at my local feed store to earn free chicken food. Maybe you can do something like that?

I would love to do that but it's a pet store the bad thing is I am only 17 icant legally work when I do work it's with some contacts and I can buy food I usually buy 6 bags so I have enough

A lot of people in my area feed corn only to their flocks also. However they usually have a large foraging area and most of the time a pond also. So they get a lot of their nutrients from foraging. And can be confusing to their owners as well as others.

If you have trouble finding something your parents can afford, private message me and we can discuss options.

Here is the kind of feed I feed mine:
