Hello all! First post here. Can anyone help me identify this duck breed? I'm trying to understand their tem perament. First time duck owner here, so I may be off base. We just had a few ducklings tonight!! There are about 3 more eggs currently unhatched. Again, no idea what I'm doing here. Any and all advice is appreciated!

You have a Muscovy duck. They are considered the best all around duck breed.

Awesome, great to hear! Lol I didn't expect an answer so fast. How did you know? More importantly, any thoughts on whether I should separate the mom and her ducklings from the drake? He hasnt seemed aggressive from what I can tell?
He immediately tried to mount the mome when we first got her, but I haven't seen him mount her, nor the other hen since they got broody.

Welcome to BYC! Those little ducklings are the cutest

Bare red face, long waggy tail, long rounded wings. Duck only quacks when extremely stressed, Drake can only hiss and they have sharp claws. (Their toes curl when closing their feet) Yes, remove him from the family so he can be near but not touch.

Scovy! So basically it's part goose!
I've never had Scovys but I know a lot of people do and that they are overall great birds.
