Here's the gang now, they just had a bath together. Niblet and Lisyla still don't get along.

Here's more pictures of Xerxes feathers, is he a full Mallard or a cross? And here's Nigella's belly with white and the Mallard pattern. She is a cross, correct? Neither of these have the red outline around the bill (caruncles) like Lisyla does and she is almost a week younger than them.

No. he is not loud yet. He was supposed to be a blue pied Muscovy though. There is NO way a blue pied Muscovy would have brown and black patterned feathers. Am I right?

Here's a picture of Xerxes' feathers.

Xerxes is getting his feathers in now and they are looking like Mallard coloring. : (

I don't think we will be able to keep the Mallards if they get noisy. Niblet is already starting to quack, though she does not do it often. Xerxes is quiet so far, of the 3 babies Nigella is the only loudmouth! I guess I'll find out if he is pure Mallard or a mix when he gets his feathers in.

Yes, that's them. Xerxes is smaller and much lighter then Nigella and is only 1 day younger then her.

Does anyone think Xerxes is a Mallard? He looks so much like Niblet.

I just went to G & B Poultry's website and they posted this: Ducks "As of 03/04/12 we have discontinued breeding Muscovy ducks due to age and our stock have been retired where they will live off the rest of their lives as pets. Thank you to Chris who came all the way from Canton, OH to adopt...

And here's Niblet 46 days old who started this thread.

Updated pics of the babies...They are now 14 (Nigella-black and yellow one), 13 (Xerxes-one that looks like a Mallard) and 8 (Lisyla-yellow one) days old.

Niblet was 6 weeks old yesterday. I guess the squatting thing started at the same time she started getting scared of everything. My son walked up to her with his bright orange jacket with reflective stripes and you should have seen her run to mommy! Now every time she sees him she runs or...

The weather went from being really cold a couple of nights ago to hot. I turned on the ceiling fan and now Niblet is reluctant to walk through the living room to the kitchen after my daughter. It's so funny seeing the duck walk calmly down the hallway then run as fast as it can through the...

I tried giving the hippo back and I got a duck scream/honk and ran to the other side of the cage! Nope, just likes my glove. I'm really starting to think Niblet IS a girl now! lol

I just called Ebay and reported the seller and told them that they did this to other people too. They are filing the report and investigating and will email me to let me know the outcome.

I heard back from 3 other people who ordered Muscovy eggs from the seller and one didn't get any to hatch, another ordered 20 eggs and also got a Mallard but only 4 other eggs hatched but were on time and the last person had 2 hatch early and 1 hatch on time. I think Ebay needs to extend the...

Nigella is only 1 day older than Xerxes and she is much bigger and heavier. The only thing Xerxes does that makes me think he is not pure Mallard is the head bobbing. The 2 older ducklings sound just like Niblet did when he was little. Lisyla does not sound like the others she does the trilling...

Here they are having their first swim in the tub. Niblet was tugging on my daughter's shirt wanting to go in with them! Is she being overly cautious or should he be allowed to go in with them? (Watched closely of course)

Just had to show you what the silly babies did today. We had a scare last night with Lisyla, it got really cold over night and she left the heated area and fell asleep and almost died. We were up most of the night warming her and making sure she was ok. I made warm mash for them and while the...

No, thanks for pointing it out.
