Sexing muscovy ducks.Please Help?

[Alexander]

I currently don't have any but a friend of mine had a broody hen that hatched 9 of them.

She told me that she would give me two when she could tell which one is a drake and which a hen.

When can you tell the difference?

Thanks in advance.

Depends upon the experience of the breeder. I have a friend that knows as soon as they dry down, I either have to vent sex or wait until the size difference gives it away.

The thing is she is not experienced lol.

She will probably wait till the female lays her eggs

.

I was hoping you could tell me so I would go to her and choose the ones I want.

Some can vent sex, i found by 7 almost 8wks the size alone gave it away and now at almost 10wks my hens quack lol and my drake has become a small turkey(ie; he's HUGE) .
