I have a chocolate Muscovy drake that I bred with my blue female. Per genetics, I would have a possibility of black and blue males and chocolate and lilac females. I had 9 babies hatch yesterday afternoon. If I'm correct, in these pics I am seeing 2 black, 2 blue, 2 chocolates, and 3 lilacs. Can someone please confirm for me.

Congrats, they are cute! I think you're right about the colors.
Thanks! I have a lilac female sitting on another 10 eggs right now who was bred with my chocolate drake. She will produce non-sexlinked chocolates and lilacs. I plan on keeping a lilac drake from her if or when she has one. Once that drake is bred with my blue female than she'll produce black, blue, and silver males and chocolate, lilac, and buff females. Unless I introduce a bronze from another breeder, that's where my breeding for colors stops.
