New Ducks

[Back Yard Ram]

Hi, I have these 2 new ducks. Can you help me identify male/female ducks? I know one is Muscovy breed, but can you help identify the other breed? Thanks!

The Muscovy is most probably female. How old is she?

As for the other, I'm no expert but would have to guess Pekin, and also female depending on age.

Hope that helps!

Canadian Wind, the Muscovy is about 5 months old. The other duck is about 3 months old. Thanks!

The Pekin is likely a female. The best way to tell is by sound. Females quack loudly and drake have a more raspy sound. It is possible that the duck hasn't got it's tail curl by now, but you should see that by now if it was a drake.

The muscovy looks like a drake to me. That thick neck and legs, and the more pronounced caruncles. The drakes just make hissing and huffing sounds, while hens will coo, thrill, and chrip.

After looking at the picture again, yeah, those legs...

I completely forgot about asking what sounds they are making! I blame it on it being after midnight here.

When there is only one in the picture it is often more difficult. You definitely need to see two together sometimes
