EMERGENCY - wild ducklings

Well I wasn't sure he was muscovy when I first found him but other folks who knew identified him

Someone has just said the same thing about the one we just found. Said most likely it’s a Muscovy. Looks similar to the one you have pictured just a lighter bill/beak (I thought I was bruised when we found it) Thank you for your reply!

Yup, looks like a Muscovy or Muscovy/other domestic mix.
He's so cute! Do you have a heat lamp or some other heat source for it to go under for warmth?

I agree muscovy or possibly a muscovy domestic mix -- and likely 7+ days old by the look of those little tail feathers

The folks who told me mine was going to be a muscovy, also said that he would be lilac. They were wrong on that! Here he is at 12 weeks and 9 months
