That was my top guess as well. Either that or St. Augustine.

So this sweet little guy fell into our laps this morning at our local chicken swap where I am a vendor. A couple came up and we started talking about him. We originally thought they were carrying around a goat in a blanket lol. He is a 3 week old bottle baby. They are moving out of state and...

I had a lavender female a couple of years ago, but we lost her to a prolapse. We got her from a local chicken swap. She was in a dog kennel with about 5 or 6 other full grown muscovies. We didn't realize until we got her home that she had a prolapse. It was so bad. God only knows how long she...

That is exactly what I have. He is blue, and his mom was lilac and dad was chocolate. That explains now how I got all 6 colors with my hatch

Thank you so much for this link. I was following a different breeding chart which told me I would get blacks, blues, and silvers. The one you shared told me I would get black, blue, silver, lilac, chocolate, and buff. Our last of 12 just hatched and I got all 6 colors!!!

I wouldn't call myself a professional breeder by no means lol. My ducks are pets first and foremost (and quite spoiled might I add lol). We just have a high demand for them here locally and if I let nature take it's course and kept them all then I'd have enough for all of us lol. I just like to...

So I've been breeding my muscovies for the past few years per Al's Quackery genetics chart. So far I've managed to produce black, blue, chocolate, lilac, buff, and just today I've hatched out some silvers. I'm trying to decide if I should add a male silver to my flock for breeding. Keeping a...

Ok, so I bought my first 2 four week old splash Australorp chicks from our local chicken swap today. I just realized that one has dark blueish legs whereas the other has light yellowish legs. I know for a fact that they are full-blooded because the man was a vendor right next to me and we talked...

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...

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...

I know for a fact that my embdens are 100% pure embden. The man I got them from has over 50 embdens and his original ones were purchased from a top notch breeder. He only deals with emdens. Now my other one, the lady had all african and toulouse but that's all I know about them.

Here are some more pics if it helps any.

That's ironic because the one on the right looks identical to our male embden when we got him. These are our male and female when we got them. I was thinking that they are both embden with the lighter one being male and the darker one being female.

Does anyone have any pics of any embden cross goslings. I have an embden gander, an embden goose, and an African/Toulouse goose. Both of my girls have been sharing a nest. These 2 babies hatched out 6 days apart and I'm trying to figure out if they are embden or crosses.

I picked up this muscovy duckling this past weekend at my local chicken swap. I was told it was a lavender and am trying to confirm that it is a true lavender since it's wing feathers are now coming in and it appears to have some barring on them. I was under the impression that true lavenders...
