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

[Animal-lover339]

Please correct me.if I am wrong is this a boy or a girl and if anyone can tell me what breed it is because I suppose it's a non breed

Hi there.

Not sure of breed, where did it come from? Do you know how old?

The males will get a curly tail feather... like this...

I have NEVER seen tail feathers on a duck as long as the one yours is sporting, YET...

Another clue that happens in ducks much earlier than the tail curl presents is the raspy voice. Hens will retain a LOUD quack while drakes voice will become more of a soft raspy whisper.

Possible Muscovy? Otherwise, I'd say a wild-type duck, like a whistler or some such.

This link has sound clips of both sexes, but they may not apply, since I don't think you have a mallard-derived duck there.

@casportpony @Miss Lydia do young muscovies look like the OP's duck?

 

[ChickenDoctor145]

It looks kind of like a Muscovy to me

 

[casportpony]

It looks like a young Muscovy, possibly a cross. I say cross because it looks like a runner duck too.

@Animal-lover339, can you post more pictures?

 

[WVduckchick]

I guess I’ve never seen many muscovies at that age. very cute!!

 

[EggSighted4Life]

I was thinking maybe some Muscovy...

Which I haven't seen in person.

 

[casportpony]

I said possible cross because it looks much slimmer than a Muscovy at this age should, but after seeing the OP's other picture in their other thread I'm gonna say purebred Muscovy.

@Animal-lover339, can you get some all flock crumbles or chick starter crumbles for your cute duck?

 

[Miss Lydia]

I say Muscovy it just looks drenched and need some good grub. If she can get some more pic after it’s dry and fluffed that would help.
