You can already tell the males from females? I'm just beginning to and only by their sizes as drakes are always bigger. (and I bet i'm still wrong on some of them).
Blue ones?! Some are actually blue colored? All the Muscovy's around here are sadly the same old boring black. I did see a white one once while walking in another neighborhood and wanted to grab it and bring it back to my pond. To have a colorful flock like yours would be so fun to see each day waddling around out there.Well, they don't particularly like being held, but they tolerate my presence. Especially if I have the food bucket, lol!
Yours are plenty cute!
Somewhat. And mostly by size, yes! Other little indicators too, but I'm often wrong. Until the caruncles really start growing in. I wish I'd been able to set up breeding pairs/trios like I wanted to, right now I'm pretty much just guessing as to the parents.
I know the blue ones had to have a blue parent, since it's a co-dominant gene, but the chocolates and lilacs could be any of my drakes and hens! And if the lilac does turn out to be male, that means one of my blue boys carries chocolate. And I don't know which!
With yours, you know the parents are both black.
