Which breed do we have?

Hi, I was wondering if anybody can tell me which duck breed we have. The ducklings are now approximately 5 weeks old.

muscovy

Yes thank you, I was hoping they are muscovy

Loved that video. Adorable ducklings

Our ducks are now 4.5 months. Since they aren't really developing caruncles yet, we wonder if they might be mule ducks. We'd love to hear what you think!

Beautiful ducks!!! They do look like they could be mixes, but they could just have slower developing caruncles! I have one that’s about a year and she hardly has any!!!

thanks for your reply!
We bought them as two males by the way (but of course this doesn't have to be right). The sound they make also doesn't sound like the muscovy sounds I come across online. They still chirp a lot, so maybe they are a bit too young to say anything about that.

If anyone has any ideas, let me know. We are very curious...

Honestly they look like a mix. Could you post a video of the sounds they are making?

Thanks for your message. We also have this suspicion when we compare them with 'purebred' photos. Not only the missing caruncles but also the body shape seems a bit different to us. But these are our first ducks, so we don't know much about it...
I'll try to make a video and upload it.

We don't like them any less when it's a mix, it just makes us curious

I made a video of their sound. There is some noise in the background...
