Can someone confirm my thoughts as to males or females these were born on July 11 w

Muscovies males or female
I think the two males are the big grey ones and the rest are females although that bigger white one I am not so sure if she is female or just a big girl
At this age you can tell by size. Males are quite a bit bigger (almost twice the size of the girls when full grown), and have bigger bottoms. I don't know how else to describe it. Females have smaller tushies. :) If you look at a female, from the legs back her bottom will curve upwards towards her tail almost immediately. Males have longer abdomens/bottoms that don't curve upwards as quickly.
If they are all the same size, then it's harder to tell unless you've raised enough of them to know. I think you have at least a couple males, based on the knobby caruncles that are starting to develop. It's hard to tell their size from the photos.
Do you raise them for eggs?
I believe they should have more on their faces if they are males, but size tells before they mature enough to tell by face markings.
Sorry, I came in on this late...I am sure you can tell by now.
Please tell us how it all played out?
