The single Muscovy in the picture looks like a female to me.
Are they all the same size? The drakes should be much larger than the females and will make a trilling sound.
 
If the lone duck in 2nd pic is 4 months old, its' feet doesn't appear as large as my 2 month old drakes. Maybe a hen.

Oh, and note behavior also. My 8 week old dominate drake attacked another drake today and bloodied him. He also pinched bruised cut a spot on my wife's arm. Since all 6 have thrived, I'm thinking of following thru on the meat duck concept by culling him.
