A friend of ours gave these baby ducks to us. We cannot figure out what kind they are. They bought them from a breeder for the county fair. They did not ask what they were. Does anyone know?

I think you might be right, but do muscovy ducks not all have that red lump on their beaks? I saw pictures with some with it and some without it.

Sorry, I logged off and my daughter logged on. I responded under hers by mistake. This is tplummer.

Barred Pied Muscovies you got there. They will loose the barring with the next molt and will become black pied. Juvenile muscovies do not have the caruncles, they grow them with 3-4 months of age at the earliest, at least with my line.
 
I was not excited about having muscovies, but I am thinking I might have something nice from what I am reading. I cannot wait to see how they turn out now. Thanks.
