Muscovies????? - Page 4

post #31 of 40

Some people prefer breeding certain traits against the standard. A lot of the exhibition Muscovies have such large caraculs that it appears it would be very difficult for the bird to see. I personally believe everyone should feel free to chose how they breed their birds. Some people prefer breeding for body type while others focus their efforts on color. As long as the birds are being taken care of properly I have no objection to either.

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

CALM DOWN these breeds are wonderful and make good pets and i think muscovies are CUUUTE and pekins too. i am hatching pekins and some other breeds. Ducks aren't really bred to be, "pretty" but bred to be used for meat, eggs, and for shows and also people get them as pets (like me) I tried looking for a "pretty" breed when i had the idea of hatching ducks for pets but i realized that i wasn't going to find a pretty breed, so i got ones that will be good pets and once you get ducks you will love them no matter what they look like. Now that i have more knowledge on ducks, muscovies are one of my favorite breeds along with pekins and now i think all ducks are gorgeous and super cute. Are you looking for a pet? If so, call ducks are small, since you seem to like small ducks, and come in lots of different colors.

I think the different color morphs aren't as available in the UK.

If they  blue or black or chocolate muscovies they should have even coloring and lacing on there feathers. the males always do better than females. they should not have black skin on there caraculs, if they r over a year they should develope white on there wings and other questions just ask i hoped i helped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!thumbsup.gif

Is there an organization that I should join in order to show them? Can you show mixed colors, like blue and brown? I have a drake who is blue fading into a light brown and he is just absolutely gorgeous! I really should take a picture of him so you can have a better idea what I'm talking about. I noticed that you are on the East Coast, does showing require a lot of traveling state to state?
