Identifying ducklings.... (NEW PICS)

[taraann81]

These are mine when they were younger, now they look quite a bit like yours, but mine have a different color beak. Mine are muscovies.

ETA. If you look at the little brown in the front(I know its hard to see her) you can see that she looks alot like the one you are holding in the first of the new pics you posted.

Wifezilla and taraann81, thank you for posting those pictures. My sister's ducklings sure do look alot like the Muscovies pictured!

I know your sister said she didn't like muscovies, but has she fallen in love with them already? Ducks are very hard to resist

Well, I don't think she *loves* them quite yet.

She did mention that they're not taming down as quickly as she was hoping, but I bet that's because there are so many (14).

ducks are adorable and muscovies are soom of the friendliest and most personable BUt, most ducks I have found try to avoid people. Unless she spends ALOT of time with them they probably won't be that tame. They will never follow her(unless she has food). And they look like they are a few weeks old. If you started with day olds she'd have better luck taming them.

The key to a ducks heart is food, try thawed frozen peas.

Sorry to say this, as I know your sister will be disappointed, but I'm personally convinced they're all Muscovies. But Muscovies are cool ducks too!

Haha I'm sure they know this by now seeing that this post was started almost a year ago.

Oh, wow. Should probably look at the dates before I post something. Sorry!

As it turns out, they are indeed all Muscovies, and my sister LOVES them.
