Khaki Campbell duck or drake

[DogIsMyShepherd]

This is my khaki Campbell Mocha. He/she is almost 3 months old. I’ve been trying to figure out if he/ she is a duck or drake. Sometimes voice sounds raspy other times a clear distinct quack. Please tell me what you think I will add a few videos( ignore the trilling noise it’s just my Muscovy).

Sounds like a drake.

Sounds like a drake.

Thank you. Do you know at what age the curled drake feather comes in

It's a Drake. Won't get curl till it has it's juvenile molt.

I'm not sure, but we are headed into fall weather with shortened daylight hours, and he's a juvenile, so I wouldn't expect him to have handsome male plumage until next spring for breeding season. Though he might get his curl earlier than that.

You've got yourself a Drake.

Beautiful ducks love your Muscovy

Thank you! That’s my little girl Hope. When my Muscovy Teddy very faithfully sat on 16 eggs most died before hatch day, and the few that started to hatch mother duck crushed. So poor Hope was shrink wrapped and her egg crushed, she had not yet externally pipped but had internally, she was peeping. So I took her in the house on a heating pad and hatched her out of the egg. She was the only surviving duckling and I love her so much.

Precious thanks for sharing that!
