the white head gene is dominant, really hard to get rid off, they'll get white heads even if they only have one dose of it. 2 doses of white head into no white head = all white heads(1 dose). 1 dose of white head into non white head = 50% white head 50% non white head. its a pain in the butt to...

run a search for pics of them. they are 2 different patterns. the ripples you can see a page or so back. barred muscovy have yellow duckling down with the only colour being a stripe on the tail, legs and bill. they first lot of feathers is the most striking, they are barred all over the body...

hi lydia, been busy in the physical world, as well has hanging out a bit on other social media groups. thought i might drop by for a look!

this one is brown ripple coloured, not barred

we have bronzes here but its most likely the sepia gene. one of my experiments. sepia is rare in the US i believe but, i found a lady on a muscovy facebook group that has heaps of them! i think she was from Missouri. she had a pic of a beautiful bird that i suspect was sepia, rippled and mixed...

hi, been a bit busy of late! yes i've hatched out far too many birds this past season, the feed bill is killing me been a mixed season, had to deal with lots of feather pulling unfortuantely, the little buggers can be harsh to each other.

hi, in australia the brown muscovy are called bronze, which is most likely the sepia gene. there arent any chocolates in australia.

nice birds! which area of australia are you from?

the mum looks like a faded blue. the ducklings look silver, blue and black, so i'd say the dad is blue as well.

some day old bronze muscovy, 9 hatched outta 14 eggs in the middle of winter, not bad at all i say. usually the frosts kill a lot of them off. unfortunately they were a little camera shy

wow! they are perfect!

thats a lot of colour from an all white!

Hi Lydia, i'm not much help with the chocolates, i dont have them so havent looked at them 2 million times to study them! maybe the white gene is reacting with the blue fawn colour making it lighter? cool colour though the little one looks blue at this stage.

mine never look like they do when they are ducklings, they'll have varying amounts on the belly, back and wings and change with each moult.

it just depends on you area and how many predators are around. i'll let mine wander around with the mum at 4 weeks, as long as they are too big for the crows to pick up. but, if it's just those two little ones i'd be playing it safe for atleast a few weeks.
