What color are these Muscovy?

They will get use to them it just takes time they are intruders since they are newbies. So keep an eye on everything and as long as your older ones don't try and really hurt them they should be fine together. They have to learn their place in the pecking order. If you can watch them today and nothing serious goes on they maybe okay together at night, you'll just have to judge by what you see.
 
Okay. That's what I figured.
I just have the new girls in with the ducklings, they are pretty close in size. The girls are a bit bigger.
I'm not quite ready to have my two big drakes with them just yet.
Maybe in a few days depending on how things go.

These girls are clearly not used to humans. Hopefully I can change that with time.
I just don't want they scared and running away every time I come near them. Poor things.
 
Treats are always a way to a ducks security. If you can get hold of some dried meal worms and your other ducks are comfy with you and see how your resident ducks respond they should warm up pretty quick My Muscovy's will climb all over me for meal worms eat out of my hand and Do Not like for me to pick them up but when feeding treats I can pet them.
Def give the girls time to get use to each other before putting the drakes in with them. As young as everyone is though shouldn't take long for them all to be 1 flock. No hormones to get in the way yet.
 
I just picked up two new muscovies- females 95% sure at least
I was told they are about 3 months old.

1- what color are they?
2- can I put them in with my drakes right away or do I have to slowly introduce them? My drakes are 3 months old as well.

Are they able to mate at this age? (Not that I want them to, I'm afraid my drakes may try)
Looks like a blue barred on the right. Left is hard to tell, almost looks like a dirty white

Here is a better photo. It's like white with tan on it

It's going alright! The little ones seem to be warming up to them a bit.
I expanded their area. To give them more room to spread out.
(I have one big enclosure, then the ducklings are in a smaller enclosure inside of the big one)
