Very aggressive Muscovy!

Here she is

Is that one bigger? The Muscovy is known to be a aggressive breed and all though the are sweet their personality can change very quickly!

All males do is huff - only the hens will make a soft trilling sound. Muscovy can be very aggressive towards each other and other birds if they are expected to share their space with them, even the girls. One of our Muscovy girls would attack our son until we dispatched the male (he was people aggressive and nothing we did would make him change his ways). Once he was gone she calmed right down and is now fine.

This video is a good demonstration of the difference in sounds between the sexes.

You could be right there as my Muscovy hens don't have anywhere near as many caruncles as the ones pictured and they were hatched in May.

Yes, then they are probably drakes
