I got a couple ducklings a few weeks ago and now they are about 5-6 weeks old.
In the beginning they looked like baby Mallards but now they are twice the size of a mallad & have pretty big feet.
They are friendly,wag their tails a lot and get nippy when sitting in my lap. They love their pool. No quacking yet... Just peeping chatter.
Thanks for the help!

Muscovy, I could tell as soon as I saw the bill. You can totally tell in the 2wk old picture.

The one in the front of that last picture looks like it might have a more "girly" head but it's hard to tell in the pics if they're a pair or not. Very pretty!
 
Very pretty Scovies you have there.

Thanks for the feedback! As a duck newbie, I started suspecting they were muscovy due to their prolific tail wagging... all youtube searches came up with muscovy ducks wagging tails. They also mysteriously showed up on someones doorstep. (muscovies seem notorious for hiding nests and surprise one day you have babies)The clawed big feet were all suspect. I would guess the one in the front on the last pic is a girl (more vocal & smaller) and and behind possibly a boy with the white. He is larger. They are pretty awesome and friendly. Love them so far!
