I would sit the duck down and just ask him/her. Simple as that.

Muscovy ducks are the Only domestic duck which cannot be sexed according to it’s tail because they are the only domestic duck not related to the mallard.
Sexing a muscovy can be difficult at the best of times. Here’s the guidelines though.
A male will be larger than a female. If it looks like it’s a reasonable size for a duck, it’s female, if it looks like a smallish goose it’s a male.
If it hisses, it’s a male (males will also purr when aggravated, and make honks when excited). If it peeps and clucks, it’s a female (only when they are past the downy chick stage).
These two traits seem to work most of the time, especially for wild type black and white ducks.
