Since they area few days apart, there will be some differences in growth. If not major differences in sizes, I'd still say wait.

They can. Muscovy girls are meaner than the boys.

Mine isn't mean @CrazyMaizie. She's very sweet! My two muscovy drakes are not sweet, can be bad boys with my pekins, but I can't call them mean. Just highly spirited, hormonely charged drakes!

They can be mean to each other. My 2 current muscovy girls do not get along. One is even the boss over my runner girls.
The drakes are just drakes.

I guess it takes all sorts @crazymaizie !! My little muscovy female was rehomed with my son's pekin females where they all bonded and get on fine. But cute little muscovy is encouraging a feral rooster to mate with her every day. The pekins are frightened of the rooster and stay away, but the sex mad muscovy is over to him like a shot as soon as she is out of the coop in the morning!!
