Hello all- I am new here- although I've done a lot of reading here this is my first post!

I am new to having chickens and ducks.
We initially got 2 ducks from tractor supply which turned out to be muscovies- love them!
However they both seem to be males- I searched and found someone near me with babies and got four of them
She said she got them at an auction at the end of June- so they would be about 3 weeks old. However they seem really small for that age.
When I got my two from TS I was told they were about 2 days old- which is about the size of these little ones I just got.
The girl I got them from has some that are hatching and showed me one that just hatched which was smaller than I expected also.
(I'll be going back for a couple of those when she's ready to let them go)

I'm going to add some photos, of the babies for a size and maybe some thoughts, are they really muscovies?
And my older ones who are 3 months old. Are they males? They seem to be the same size - large! And both hiss a lot and no other noises really.
One has more black on his head- that's Felix- the other with less black is Henry.
