Muscovy duck gender and age

[Trenvilla]

Hello I was told my moscovy duck is around 6-7 weeks but I feel that may be off. Also any guesses on gender

Probably 5-6 weeks sure is pretty. I say female looking at how she is standing on her own feet. lol

I was thinking female to but it tends to have a very wide stance. Let me know if you want a better pic

I see that then I think drake, females legs sit much closer together under their bodies. Its always so nice if you have more than one for comparison. I have a Muscovy drake and 4 females and my drake is my buddy.

I only have one and got it from a place that was keeping it with chickens. It was the only duck and at the time they told me the hatch date was in September on the 18th I got it on the 18th of October. I just called and noe they are saying that it could be 10 weeks old. do you think I could be under feeding I’m just a bit worried they could also be wrong.

Are you leaving food and water out all the time? if so he'll eat when he needs too.

I'll look at more pics?

 

[Trenvilla]

Yes food and water all the time. The veggies, fruit, fish, and bugs some times.

Hi. I've been told to check the legs to see if drake or not but just wait a little when the coloring comes to their face then you can be sure. I think the age is a 6-7 weeks old. I raise all colors of muscovy ducks sure is pretty one.

Also your duck looks healthy. Muscovy ducks are easy to raise one day they look frail and little but then a week later they are plump and stocky looking. You're duck looks healthy. Don't worry.
