Are these blue Muscovy or something else?

[5ducks]

Hi, i recently bought two Muscovy ducklings that should be just under two months old. I was told that they are “powder blue” but I have never heard of powder blue before. Is powder blue a thing? Or are they just regular blue or maybe silver?

Looks like a blue and silver to me. It is possible it lavender but there is not much of a good way to tell the difference.

I’m thinking blue and lavender! Powder blue isn’t a thing, of anything, I’m pretty sure that’s considered lavender

Lavender is pretty rare, so I would personally think it is more likely a silver. Only way you can know for sure is to cross it to a black and see what you get.

There are light blue and dark blue when it comes to shades of blue in Muscovies. Powder blue I am assuming is just what the lady used to describe the color she was seeing. A true lavender as a duckling will be a solid light gray with not even a hint of brown or buff. Silver as a duckling will be light gray with tones of chocolate or buff throughout.

Thank you, I’ll have to wait until we move to the country to find out for sure then lol, I am at duck capacity.

Thank you, yeah that’s probably what they meant. Whatever color they actually are, they are super pretty
