Sexing ~3 week old Muscovy ducklings

Anyone out there that may have a guess as to the sex if my 2 Muscovy ducklings? To me it looks like the dark one has more of a tail curl.

I'm no help since I'm new to Muscovies, but those are very cool looking! What colors are they, if you know?

I’m not sure how they will turn out! This is my first time raising them. Current colors are yellow and gray/black and the other is all gray/black except for a small patch of yellow under the chin.

Are they pure muscovy? The dark one looks mixed. I've not seen one with dark feet, and a dark head. I'd guess the blue and white is a female, but they are young yet. The dark one looks male.

Muscovies don't get drake curls. Even if they did they are to young. Once Muscovies are grown males are much larger than females. Males (once grown) will make only huffing sounds while females will continue to make a variety of sounds
