Muscovy Ducks laying egss for first time but i'm not sure which one is laying eggs?

Thanks for the reply Im also in On near Ottawa. Well there is a nest made out of the straw and 3 eggs in but i have never seen either one near it. The black one i think is the female but is the bigger one and more red on face, trills when speaking and the gray one just sits around and kinda makes a breath noise but is not as active as the black one and is a little smaller and less red on face. i have had a hard time telling the sex with only the two around dont have anything to compare to. from what i have seen on the net it confuses me because all the signs are backwards for me. i will try and get new pics up asap. Thanks again. Cheers. I hope to have a pair but i dont want her to sit there for no reason. would it hurt to wait and see her sit for awhile to know which one is laying then take the eggs.

I looked at your pics again and it's kind of hard to say for sure since they are blurry but looks like your blk is male other is female. yes leave the eggs, let her contiue to lay, she may go broody, they like to lay anywhere from 5-20 eggs so you'll just have to wait it out,. if she lays a good number and still isn't sitting then just remove the eggs and toss, she'll continue laying through spring and into fall. So you'll have more chances of her going broody.
