These are Muscovy ducks, at one week of age. Got them today.
And yesterday I picked up a Rouen (another type of duck) whose owner is moving (presumably where she can't keep the duck).
A bit of duck drama ensued when the Pekin (now named Princess Snowball) and Rouen ("Frenchy"?) met. But a day later and they are almost sleeping up against each other.
When picking up the Muscovys today, Kerrie and I had a bit of a scare and laugh. We stopped briefly at Robert's place, leaving the ducks in a box in the car. We came back out and there were only two in the box! Apparently Muscovys are good climbers (they normally nest in trees, so this is a useful skill).
