Is my Muscovy male or female?

[chickfan]

Thanks to you helpful people, I believe I/we have decided that I have a Muscovy duck. Now I'm wondering how to determine male from female? This one may be about 8 weeks. I forgot to write down when we got her/him. If there is a way to know, I would love to hear about it. Google isn't helpful with this subject!
Thanks!

Post pics and it will be easier for us to tell.

Yes! pictures! and if you could get him/her standing next to something for size comparision it would help

Look at the feet. They have big feet. I have three muscovy ducklings and you can tell very clearly the one is a male.
They get huge compaired to a female.

One thing we noticed about this duck was his huge feet, compared to a mallard. Not a good comparison, of course, but the mallard is the only other duck we have.
I don't have other ducks of her kind to compare, so maybe there is no way to be sure. I guess since both our mallards are female, we will know for sure one of these days, won't we?
Thanks for the replies. When he/she was a bit smaller, the feet seemed to be 'way too big for the size of the duck, but now they don't seem to be that big.
I guess this picture won't help, but I'll send it anyway.

I have to agree with peachie..... girl for sure, look at those feminine feet!!!!!

I say girl as well. My drake's feet are as big as my hands now.

May be a hen, but realistically too young to tell for sure.

At that age it's easier to tell with a clutchmate for comparison but from the picture my best guess is girl. my boys always have a little more caruncling at that age than the girls do.
