I have raised Muscovies before from young so I know the differences quit well
Females are smaller and will have have the same structured body as a call duck only they are bigger than call ducks (much bigger)
Males are larger and will have a long structured body

Males have a more masculine head as well
Even looking at the photo I posted you can see that the ducks in your photo are bigger than the females in my photo

Look at the shape of the girls head in this photo and compare it to the ones in your photo.

I see ducks with big bodies and thick legs. Can you weigh one of them?

@Chrismelville211, how old are they?

Males can pip at a young age too you know, I’ve had some very questionable ones in the past. The biggest indicator is that the males will hiss and only the males, females only hiss when broody

I sure miss my muscovies but they used to rape my other ducks and they used to attack the chickens

One time I saw the drake Muscovy holding the roosters head under water. And that was the end of them (I gave them all away)
