depending on their age a picture of the wings is usually helpful when younger than 2 weeks

At a certain age, the males will have a couple feathers curl on the top of their tails. Also, males will have more of a quack sound, whereas females will honk. The best way to tell though is if the feathers curl

If I were to post some pic's would you be able to tell I think 1 is a girl because when my turkey gets up from her nest to do her thing we find the Musgrove sitting on her eggs but I don't know if that means she is a girl and the other one I am not sure about at all we picked them up at an auction so i don't even know how old they are but they look full grown.They are such neat ducks they don't make a lot of noise either I don't see any sex feathers either, not like my other boy's

Do you mean Muscovy? If so, there won't be any drake feathers. Do they have the red caruncles on their faces? Is one a lot bigger than the other one?

 

[mrbuch]

Yes that is what I meant and yes they do have red faces I would like to know what kind of pic's do I need to post to see if you can tell what there gender is like ie feathers ,bills ,feet or faces

Pictures of faces are good. The males usually have much larger caruncles than the females. If you can get a picture of them standing side-by-side, it would help to see if one is a girl and one is a boy. Muscovy males are MUCH larger than the females. Of course this won't help if you have two females, though.

The one sitting on your turkey's eggs is probably a girl. I don't think the boys do that at all. That's also pretty funny.
