I know they are ducklings! LOL Do they look like Muscovies?
The daddy was a Muscovey, I am almost positive, and, the mama is, I believe, a Muscovey mix. I got her from a rescue group when she was about 6 weeks old. She looks Muscovey, but is pretty small compared to the other Muscovey hens I have seen around here.
Can anyone tell if the babies look pure? I was curious because the "twins" (yellow with brown spot on head) DON'T have the line by their eye. The little brown and yellow one has one line by his eye. What is "normal" for a muscovey baby? There are three total. Two yellow with brown spots on head, and one brown and yellow. If there were more in the beginning, I have no idea. She isn't in a pen, as she wasn't clipped and had the run of the yard so to speak. She was hanging with other Muscovies (sort of wild, but kind of tame) that are around the neighborhood. When she came home, she only had these three with her.
Thanks!

Here are all three of them, with their rubber ducky (only for size comparison, I didn't leave it in with them, and their beanie baby cardinal)
Here is a better shot of the mostly brown one with the stripe by his eye, and one of the "twins" who doesn't have a stripe.
