HELP! Muscovy duckling has watery eyes...

Oh I'm setting them free when their adults.
That's why I'd forage with them

A hand raised duck has a much lower chance of survival if released. Frankly, they are basically a dead duck. I know I''m being harsh but this is reality. They are not going to possess the skills they need to survive as they are not going to be able to learn them from you. They will be people friendly, which in Florida, can be a death sentence. I moved from FL a year ago and muscovy are not well thought of there and are offered no protection from the state as they are considered an invasive species.

Why not see if it isn't too late to return them to their mother and give them a fighting chance of surviving? Wildlife rehabers have the skills and knowledge needed to reintroduce wildlife, novices don't.

well whenever I see a plant that I know is no good or not trust worthy, I stop them from eating it until they realize its not good.
Today I put worms and tiny fish from outside into water and let the duckling eat them.
