Are these your ducks? We had a black female Muscovy duck in our neighborhood for years. She was overly friendly – to the point she would walk right up to the cars if they slowed down. She did chase the other ducks away (she was the only Muscovy, oddly) She stayed all year ’round. This past spring she was injured (a car? no one knows for sure) and they took her to a vet. We all thought “she” was a “he”. ha! They did have to put her under and now our pond is certainly missing her presence. The red on their face isn’t the most attractive, but it’s funny. I’m partial to them now. 🙂

Margaret,
Yes, they are our ducks. We have a total of six… four boys and two girls.
I can see how your pond is missing the presence of your Muscovy. They have incredible personalities, don’t they?

Yes! Sweet. But do yours chase other ducks away… Our neighborhood duck did that. Or do you only have Muscovy?

Margaret,
We only have Muscovy. Who knows, maybe someday we’ll have other breeds too? 🙂

What handsome duckies they have become since I saw them when they were tiny! Can hardly wait to see them and everyone else sometime soon!

How do you get your duckies so sweet and gentle? I have five, all boys, and they much prefer to run and hide in their shelter rather then get attention. All of them are older, two around 6, and three about 4.

Scooterbug,
Our duckies are five months old and we’ve had them since they were a couple of weeks old. We’ve spent a lot of time with them, so I suspect that has a lot to do with it? Some are still more approachable than others… the girls are the most approachable, and Gus likes being held the least. 🙂

Gussie, Jake and all the others are truly fascinating and lucky duckys. Of course all the animals at MBF are blessed and special.

We had Muscovis for a long time, they had many clutches of chicks too! We sold some at the aution. Alas when my oldest daughter left home and went in the military we sold the rest too. The hens are so sweet!!! the drakes, gotta watch them, ours got really protective and slashed my thumb one day. But love the hens and they lay a lot of eggs!!!!!

I guess I have never seen their red stuff up close and personal. What interesting waddles they have. Is that the term or did I just make that up?
Or maybe that’s what turkeys have…hmmm.
I would have never guessed that ducks could be lapducks. Smile.

You did so wonderful portraits of your ducks. I remember them looking one like the other and now they look so different.
And how trusting Jake is sitting with his Dad 🙂

Duck whisperers! What fabulous photos. I imagine the brays are often joined with some serious quacking.
