Is this Muscovy a drake or duck? Help!!

[Going Quackers]

Perhaps a pic of some of my young drakes and females may help?


Same age, same clutch.. white is a drake, chocolate a female...


You'll notice an overall difference in size and while it may sound silly females due tend to lean towards a feminine head shaping.

Sorry for the late reply,
your drakes will be fairly bigger than your ducks sometime you will have a duck that is a bit bigger than the average duck but the drakes are always alot bigger than them

Females hiss to so that can't always be an indicator.

By 8 weeks there is usually a noticeable difference in the duck and drake in size.

I know the females hiss to but the females hiss by huffing air through there nose and it sounds like hissing but the drakes hiss from there vocal cords the hens dont

Yep saw exactly what you are talking about last night when I put my 3 old ones to bed, one of the girls did the huffing hiss to me.
