What kind of ducks are these?

[PhoenixPharm]

they are so cute

I'm thinking they aren't pekins anymore......maybe Muscovy?

They look like mine but I assumed Pekin. What makes you think not Pekin? Just curious. I am new to ducks

 

[chickenmama7977]

I think you are right. After looking at mine this evening I think we have white Muscovy. The pale beaks that are tipped down at the end. Mine have longer claws, and have been making the Muscovy purring sound. So very exciting. They both were the same size at first but now one is much larger. Perhaps I have a male and female

The black on the head, and the growth starting on the beak....mine also has some red blotches starting on beak

Oh my gosh! I got mine at the new freedom PA tractor supply and they are looking super similar! I am thinking Muscovys too!

This was last werk

Yep I think they are! My male is getting so huge and he can't support his weight for very long before he lays down. Sometimes his legs even start shaking. I give them brewer's yeast every day but it hasn't helped. He acts normal otherwise and runs around in the yard but takes more rests than the female.

Here are mine at 5 weeks.

New Freedom is about an hour from me. I'm in Lancaster County

Which tsc did you get them from? My male is huge too! I've been doing the Brewers yeast also but don't see much difference
