How do you tell M / F in muscovy Ducks???

[SportTees]

This is driving my crazy- I have 4 Muscovy ducklings that are between 1 and 2 months. They are huge but I have no idea how to tell Male from Female. I was told they don't have curl feathers or quack so how do you tell??

 

[DarkWingDuck]

Muscovy males will be drastically larger than females (about double the size). They'll also develop far more red tissue on their faces.

male teens, about 4-5 month, look at the their size and huge feet

mature females, look at their dainty little feet
also if they weigh more than7 ponds they are prop. boys less and they are girls

and here they are together, from bottom to top: boy,girl, boy, boy and by the pole with the head tucked in another girl. ETA yes, i do have all my ducks in a row!!!!

Those are some pretty 'scovies! I especially love the one by the pole.
