    Muscovy Laid Soft Egg

    I bought 5 muscovies a few months ago and I believed I had 4 females and 1 male. 1 duck has a lot more red in his face, has larger feet, and does not trill so I assumed he was a male. They are all around 6 months old but today I found a soft/rubbery egg. I checked the camera expecting one of the...

    Help Me Determine the Sex of my Muscovy Ducks

    Also, when I got the black ones, they were probably at least a 1/3 smaller than some of the other ducks from that clutch (some were literally larger than the mom hen already). I just assumed the larger ones were male since I got them when they already had most of their feathers. @Crazy Maizie

    Help Me Determine the Sex of my Muscovy Ducks

    I have chickens (bantams), so I was really hoping to have that 1 male and 4 female ratios. When I got the two ones with the tan head the last owner vented all 6 of her ducklings and gave me the two that she thought were most likely to be female. When I got the two black ones and the all-white...

    Help Me Determine the Sex of my Muscovy Ducks

    @Crazy Maizie @Miss Lydia Hey here are some more pictures. I tried getting some from above and some with their legs from the side. Hopefully you can make an educated guess based on these pictures. Again they're all around 15-17 weeks. The two with the tan faces are from the same clutch and the...

    Muscovy duck questions

    @Ilovemychicks08 @StinkyAcres Okay great thanks for your feedback. I was thinking the one in the back of pictures 7-8 may be a boy since his caruncles seems to be a little more red. I know males tend to be larger but since he was a runt and very small when I got him, I was unsure.

    Help Me Determine the Sex of my Muscovy Ducks

    Yea they are all fairly close in age. The two ones with the tan head are slightly larger (even though they're younger by about a week or two) but I believe that's just because the parents were both huge. I have read through that, but I am still unable to find any clear-cut differences between...

    Help Me Determine the Sex of my Muscovy Ducks

    I got the two with the tan heads May 19th and they were said to be 8-9 weeks so they should be at least 15 weeks by now. The other three will be a week or two older. I've been reading about the huff/hiss but so far, I haven't heard any do that. @Miss Lydia @Crazy Maizie Thanks for the...

    Muscovy duck questions

    Hey I got a couple muscovy ducks recently and I've been struggling to determine the sex. I have read tons of threads and stuff here and on reddit but I'm super new to ducks (I've always had chickens). I've made a post in hopes some people with more experience can offer their feedback but I also...

    Help Me Determine the Sex of my Muscovy Ducks

    Hey! I need help determining the sex of my new Muscovy ducks. I got the three older ones (the two black ones and the all white one) on May 19th of this year and they already had most of their feathers grown in. The all white one was a runt so he was very small and his wing feathers were still...
