This is Piglet he/she will be white. This is the all yellow.
These are what I thought would be chocolate. The darker one is in the front.

Since I found this thread doing a search for Muscovy duck colors I just thought I would add something about the yellow ducklings. Not all yellow ducklings will be white. We end up with a lot of creams in our hatches that start out as solid yellow ducklings.

 

This brood of babies and I think thier papa in the back (16 babies), live in the retention pond next door to my house in Lakeland, FL.
I'm wondering what color all these babies will be when they're bigger. The blonde ones started out chick yellow, some with little bits of milk chocolate-like brown. The others were blackish. They're not MY ducks, but I have been seeing muscovy ducks in that fenced retention pond for a year and a half now, and they're so cute and funny, colorful and full of character. I love that they chirp when they're being cute for snacks, and I finally was able to get them a bag of bird food for starters (a little 2.5 pound bag), and if they don't eat it, the Blue Jays and other songbirds will.

We had other nests of babies throughout the year and this one batch with mama and 2 surviving babies, it was easy to spot which one of the babies was male and which was female by the colorings when they went black/white later on.

These ducks are like neighborhood celebrities, and are in almost all watery areas of Lakeland!
Maybe when they change color, I'll be able to figure out their genders?
