Muscovy ducklings around month old one is clearly younger by a week or two so hard to judge that one

theyellow white duck is the young one
 
4 weeks is a little young still. Wait another 10-14 days or so and take another look. At around 6 weeks males will be noticeably larger than their sisters. Also look at the feet, males have larger feet and thicker legs.
 
was hoping for at least two females but it looks like 3 to 1 even though smallest is younger the others were never that small at that age

Muscovy ducks don't get sex feathers like those but thank you I think the three males with the one brown potentially being a bigger female but doubt it
