2018 Hatchalong

Pics
We are up to five muscovy ducklings so far, to go with the five domestic ducklings from last week. Already into double digits with plenty more hatching to go.

I had one solo egg in the last week of cooking in my bator, which I gave to my broody dewlap goose today. I really hope she can hatch it. Poor goose has been sitting for six weeks now.

The other made it out! I'll be moving them soon so better pics to come.

Muscovy babies are so cute. Congrats on so many babies!
 
The siblings! Now to decide if they are both geese or ganders. They appear to me to be same sex anyway. Anyone?

How are the muscovies doing?

It depends on the parents :)
If the father is brown and the mother is white they would produce white males with brown and black feathers with a bit of lavender here and there, white females and pied females. If they are Pomeranian goslings the sexes will only be easy to sex when they are 2 months old.

Your two goslings are pied (will be brown and white in colour as adults) incase you didn't know :)

I guess that color would be pied, hadn't thought of it. They are supposed to be auto sexing, like pilgrims. New breed for me and very little info to be found online about Shetlands.
