Awww such cuties!! Don't do anything all day today except play with and hug those cute little babies!

In a few days they will become noisy, stinky creatures that make a mess of their brooder 5 minutes after you clean it LoL They will still be cute though!!

LOL! They are really cute but pretty tuckered out from their trip. They've been napping a lot. When they're awake they're so active! The shoot from one side of the brooder to the other and splash in their water drinker. Then it's naptime again.

I always forget how active they are when they're tiny because in just a few weeks they'll go into the lazy mode where they lay down to eat and drink

My adults are so zen... they just move kind of slow from one place to the other and when anyone walks by they have to step over the lazy guys! They're so friendly tho!
 
OMGeeze! One of my girls produced a solid yellow duckling(probably wont be white though) and it's the only one i've had in a couple years... it's the cutest thing EVER but that box full of them is too much! i just wanna pick em all up in am arm load and cuddle em!

Such cute pictures! Thanks for sharinh! I think it's funny how Muscovy ducklings are generally cuter/prettier than other ducklings, but when they grow up it isn't always so. Of course I'm always in denial, and think my muscovies are the prettiest things on the planet. Haha.

ME TOO!

It's so funny that I love the caruncles

I think my other ducks are pretty too but I have a special place for my Muscovy! Actually, mine love to be petted and we regularly have little "chats" so I'd have to say that they're the friendliest waterfowl I have on the farm.
 
Lol. I'm not a huge fan of the caruncles if they're overdeveloped, but otherwise I like them. My muscovies are really tame as well. If they think I have a treat, they'll pull at my pant legs until I hand it over. Lol. Or when I'm letting them out in the morning they practically plow me over! Or if people come to visit, the muscovies just have to come visit with them. Definitely the most personable birds in my barnyard.
