When you are shopping for Muscovy girls remember that the boys whisper, the girls trill. They will all hiss if seriously displeased.

Males make the huffing hiss like sound. Hens will make a similar sound if agitated, but most of the time make trills. It sounds like you have a drake. Ducks are flock birds and need a flock.

I don't remember ever noticing a curved feather in male Muscovy tails. That's pretty much a mallard-type duck thing.

When you have only one Muscovy, the voice is the giveaway. Then, when they get older, the caruncles.

When you have a bunch of siblings, the boys very quickly get bigger than the girls.

I like this site for helping with sexing Muscovites:
