HELP! I assisted a duckling before internal pipping!

Legs sitting wide apart under their body are drakes. Female see how close her legs are under her?once they get around 4-6 weeks the drakes out grow the females. Females should be making trilling noises now too.

Thank you very much for explaining.
Does the legs part only apply to muscovy, or other breeds as well? Also, does the color of the leg matter? One of my ducks has a darker leg than the rest, it is closer to orange than legs of the other ducks.

As for the sounds, I have two of them which I heard making a sound that is as if it is breathing and trying to talk or something. It's hard to describe, but it makes it when I come near it or touch it. The last one, I didn't hear any sound from it in the first place.

Leg color hasn’t anything to do with sex. Not that I know of anyway.

If I had internet I could find you a video of what Muscovy ducks sound like maybe you can find one. We haven’t had power for 16 days because of a hurricane so my internet only shows up once in a while. How I can get on here is something I can’t explain.

Okay I can get on here and you tube and nothing else which is weird but maybe this will help

Ok, thanks for informing me on that.

No problem, I did watch many videos and I did find out what males and females sound like, and I tried carrying each of the ducks because they start making louder noises, and two of them made the sound of a drake, while one made the sound of a female duck which is similar to a whistle, basically a bit of higher pitch sound. I think that is clear enough that the one which made that sound, which is the one with white head and no black spots (you can check the pictures I attached in earlier messages), is a female, and the rest are males.

I read that, and I do realize that the two I said are male both really like to nimble on fingers and clothes and everything they see, even the slipper. The female one usually doesn't do anything, but sometimes does.

Thank you for helping me. I hope all your problems get solved very soon.

Oh ok, so runner ducks also look similar? I think things will become very clear when they start getting their new feathers.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Only difference Runner ducklings stand up tall where KC are built just like other domestics. Runners when babies look like miniature bowling pins lol
