Muscovy keepers share your pics!

We were fortunate to have a pair fly in a couple of weeks ago. Now they have 10 peeps and seem very happy here. I want to learn as much as I can to keep them happy and safe. I don't see any bands on their legs so I wonder if they are wild. Here is a recent family picture.

They maybe wild now but probably flew away from someones property and couldn't find their way back glad they found your place they are beautiful just watch for snappers they are in most ponds etc and will eat the ducklings and injure adults. Congrats on the new family.
 
Here's our Muscovies - 3 hens and a drake.



From left: Gertrude, Mel, Etta, Inga.

Inga had a nest but it got flooded out. Gertrude is brooding now. And Etta had 8 ducklings hatch a few days ago but now there's only 1 left. They're free range on our property but I think we'll take the next batch of ducklings and put them in the fenced backyard where it's a little safer.
