Sexing Muscovy ducklings WITHOUT VENT METHOD

Ok turns out I have 3 boys haha.
I have just spoken to the breeder (who is kindly coming round on Thursday to swap a male for a female).
He says by week 5 or 6 there should be a huge difference in size between males and females now. Males are also a lot longer, almost 1/3rd larger.
On female from week 6/7 there will be barely any redness on the bill and not much else on there, males (and all of mine) will have very red bills by week 7 and lumpy bits starting to pop up at base of bill nearest to forehead.
Males and females also squeak differently as well...I mean, I would know :(

I'm so grateful he's coming round to swap one for free, even though now he knows who is a female he would normally sell them for more.
 
Found this Youtube video. On Sexing by quacks, it shows at the end the diffrence between a male duckling peep and a female. As well as the bigger birds.
