Muscovy gender?

[Squeak61]

Does anyone have any clue what gender this duck is? I just got it as a rescue, and I’ve never had Muscovy before. I have absolutely no clue how old it might be. It huffs and hisses like a male and appears to have a U shaped tail. However, it doesn’t have a lot bumps on it’s face, it’s mostly smooth-ish. It also was wagging its tail at my female and following her around. I’ll have more photos coming soon, I haven’t gotten a chance to really photograph it yet. Thoughts?

I believe it's a drake.

I believe it's a drake.

That’s what I was thinking based on the sounds and behavior. I’m so confused because everyone has a different opinion

Thank you! It looks girly but sounds like a male, and everyone thinks something different. I’m stumped

I'm thinking drake, i have 4 muscovies so... drakes are normally bigger than females even this young, also sounds and legs (males have thicker legs)

Awesome, thank you! He seems male to me. He’s huffing, which I didn’t think females did. And he definitely has some thick legs. He’s next to my fat female Cayuga in the photo (who's about 8-9 pounds) and he’s already the same size.

I say drake to going by size. Beautiful ducks!
