I need help establishing what gender these two crossbred ducks are.

Mama is a Muscovy and Dad is a Khaki Campbell. They are black, with white on their chests, white spot under wings, and brown body feathers in the sunlight. They have Orange tips on their feet.

They’re bigger than their dad, who they hang out with all the time. And they’re smaller than their mom, who pecks them to get away from her and her new babies.

I’d love to read your guesses.

They claim that Mules hatch out at a 60% rate of being Drakes. I had 3 hatch out, two drakes and 1 hen. My drakes got their Hiss Voice at 4 months and my Hen will quack if startled. My drakes also started mounting the Hens at 4 months and that was a good clue as to what they were. I waited until I saw their male parts though before rehoming them as I know Hens can mount Hens as a show of dominance. Mine never got any red on their faces and the one I kept is almost 5 months old now but very pretty also. Rouen looking head as Female was a Rouen and Gray Barred beautiful body as Drake was a huge Black barred Muscovy. How old are yours?
