Baby Muscovys

[chris330r]

The babies are now a couple of months old (i'm pretty sure) and they still look nothing like Mama duck that i'm wondering if she mated with another kind of duck? Here's a picture of Mama with her babies and another with 2 others together without the Mama. Will these babies eventually look just like Mama or stay this way?...Mama is the one with the white and red head. (I probably don't need to clarify to the experts but just wanted to mention.)

Pure muscovies - they will develop the facial caruncling as they mature.

Oh that's great to know! I'm hoping they eventually look just like their Mama. I think 2 are males so they'll probably be darker and look like the Dad. There's a few brown ducks that mingle with them so I was wondering if she wound up mating with one of them.
