Hello!
I was a dummy (or maybe I'm just that cool!) and went to a poultry swap and of course came home with more animals. I got some baby chicks and I got some ducks! These are my first ducks ever and I am looking for any advice or info you think is important. I believe they are muscoveys, there are 3 of them, I'm told they are 1 boy and 2 girls. I did not take pics yet but I promise to post them when I do. Please overwhelm me with anything I need to know! Thank you!
 
Congrats on the ducklings! Yes, pictures are a must!!! (I mean, who doesn't show off their newest family members?!) Oh, also check out the threads @TLWR recommended. They are really helpful

Here's a pic of the newbies! They are fast little scooters, aren't they!?! And they took themselves for a walk down the street as well. We're told that the one closest in in the picture, with the white chest, is the drake. Still unnamed at this time. I am so excited to have gotten ducks!
