Muscovy ducklings!

With mine, one of my drakes was actually pretty tiny for a while before he suddenly tripled in size almost overnight. They're 6 months and some now, and it's painfully obvious who my male is now, he's at least 2x as large as the biggest girl and probably 3x the size of the smallest.

They look like females to me. No drake feathers. What do there quacks sound like?? Yes their quacks can help determine gender.

Muscovy drakes do not have drake feathers -- that's a characteristic of Mallard derived drakes

Yes, I have a huge 14 lb drake that was thought to be female. He was small at 8 weeks but kept on growing and growing and growing!!!

Gosh, I'm sure Moose is still growing, even if it's just in ounces now and not full pounds. He may as well be a goose at this point

My friend's adult son thought that my big boy was a turkey!!! Here he is -- 14lbs of soft duckiness [except that he tries to bite my shins and ankles]
