I just got these pretty guys yesterday.

Can anyone tell me what colors they are? I was told blue ripple and chocolate ripple. Chocolate ripple maybe. but blue ripple I'm not seeing.

The drake:

Thanks! So perhaps blue ripple after all? Can't figure out if the lighter ones are lavender or silver.

Thanks a bunch! They are about three months old and are just starting to molt into adult plumage. I take it they will darken up if they are blue?

not necessarily. There are different shades of blue

Okay, so I was thinking that these were like chickens and the light blue was called self blue or lavender, and that the darker shade was just blue. But in muscovies lavender and self blue are different? Or there are many different shades of blue? So sorry if these are stupid questions, I have zero experience with the colors in these birds and I want to eventually sell eggs and ducklings so it would be good to know what I'm selling lol.
