Purchased 3 ducklings from TSC two weeks ago (they are 3-4 weeks old now) and after searching this forum on multiple occasions, decided to sign up. Hello to all!

To avoid the many (what species is my duckling from the TSC “mix bin”?) repeats, I though I’d just introduce my three little buddies, that I’m guessing/hoping are Muscovy, based on my research here. Perhaps a “French White“ that I thought was a Pekin, but has the same “hooked” bill as the others.

Meet “Patches/Owlet” (he/she has a black back that looks like an owl, my daughters favorite cartoon character’s name is Owlet), “Super Yellow”, and “Backstrap”. Got to love the names a five year old girl comes up with!
I’ll post pictures as they continue to grow, at warp speed!

Side note: My birds and I live on a 51’ boat! They “own” the aft deck, which I hose down 4-5 a day. They outgrew the “pool” I bought at TSC after a week, and now get a daily soak/swim in my bathtub, which they seem to really enjoy. They get really excited and start bobbing their heads up and down in the water, splashing water over their backs in unison, until the excitement peaks with one of them diving underwater, swimming as fast as they can in circles. Of course the others can’t contain their excitement and quickly follow suit. I’m sure I’m a little crazy, but these birds are really smart! They react differently to the various things I say to them, like to be held and have their chests and backs stroked, they even get excited when I say “Who wants peas” lol. Yes, I’m really enjoying their company, as is my daughter!
