Weird duck behaviour

[Iownmuscovies]

I have 2 Muscovy ducks, one is An almost 6 month old male and the other is an almost 4 month old unspecified gender. For a while the 6 month old male would quickly walk upto me when I sit on the floor and start vibrating and rubbing its head all over my arms and legs basically my body. The 4 month old unspecified gender started to recently do this to me too, but the 4 month old walked upto the 6 month old drake and started vibrating and rubbing its head all over the 6 month old drakes back. What does this mean?

Dominant behaviour and usually done by Drakes.

I'm pretty sure we've looked at your pics @Iownmuscovies and thought they were both drakes. If you have a more recent pics feel free to share.

They will mate each other without a hen around but for me I would fulfill their dreams with hens but I know not everyone is set up for that...these two frames can live happily together as long as hens aren't brought into the equation

What you've describe seems a lot like what my ducks do; they start vibrating and shoot up your arm, or across the back of another duck. When they do it on other ducks it is usually when they want them to move out of the way, for example if they want to get to treat. My ducks do that all the time. Sometimes when you give them treats they get a little excited and do it to your hand too.

EDIT: Since nobody has suggested that I guess it might not be that though.

EDIT 2: OP confirmed that this was indeed what was up lol
