Muscovy ducklings - drake or duck-let?

[Chic-chat]

Two Muscovy ducklings- could you please tell me whether you think drake or duck?
about 9 weeks old.
I suspect the brown one is a drake with the wide stance but so hard to tell...

In my experience, there's no telling until a drake feather pops up or not

Ok thanks - wider stance and larger feet are meant to be another indicator but probably not very reliable. Looks like I’ll have to wait ...

I'm going with drake for the barred one - apparently thick legs, long neck and fat head are a bit of a giveaway at this age.
