Is my duck a female or a male?

[Albert1108]

Good morning,

I am little concerned whether my duck is a female or a male
I have 1 male muscovy and 1 male mallard
And 1 crested duck whose gender I don't know.
My crested duck is quiet almost all time but sometimes you can hear a muffled honk or quack, and even sometimes you will listen male sounds yet I'm not sure if male ducklings when growing up make the quack/honk sound while their voices change.

Also does it look like a male or female?

Thanks

If you hear any kind of honk it’s probably a girl for sure. It also seems to have a girly face I think

looks like a girl, i recommend rehoming her so the boys do not fight

The boys start crying when she's not around them, also we love her here, How dangerous is that the boys start fighting for her?

Do you have room to take in a rescue girl or multiple?

No I do not, you think I'd be better if I find her a new home? I know someone who could take her for me, also if I introduce a new male with the 2 that I have will they get along?

It would probably be best for her. The boys will get over it eventually even though it will be sad. If you can find a rescue boy, that will be best so that you’re sure it’s a boy and also to give a duck in need a home. They may fight some but that’s normal as long as they aren’t injuring each other. Just keep an eye on them and they will most likely quit eventually

i agree with finding a rescue boy, yours still seem young so they will accept a new duck easier than an older duck will right now. depending on what state you are in, lots of places have waterfowl sanctuaries who you can adopt rescued drakes from

I'm in Massachusetts, I will do, it's so sad to tell her goodbye because when I brought her she was in a bad shape

Majestic Waterfowl Sanctuary is in Lebanon, CT. If that’s not too far of a drive for you, they may have a young boy now or in the future that needs a home if you want to contact them
