Duck Identification/Confusion

[Alex Rehman]

I have recently come into three ducks that I can only estimate are nearing 6-8 weeks of life. When I first got them (they were still baby yellow) I thought they might be Pekins but now I'm not so sure. They're getting black and white striped feathers on their backs and wings as well as the same colors around their eyes. It looks like the black feathers on their wings have a greenish tint to them. Their beaks are kind of grayish and their feet are pale. Any help on identifying them would be much appreciated!

Welcome to BYC. They are muscovies.

I agree. Muscovies.
But, where did you get them? The previous owners didn't tell you? Or did they come from a farm/feed store?

They are definitely Muscovies

The previous owner was just as clueless as I am! She only wanted one and ended up with 4, she didn't even know their age. I'm kind of flying blind and making the best guesses I can to keep my ducks happy and healthy

That's crazy about the previous owner. Well, maybe not - maybe she got them at a feed store?
Anyway,
