Are these Mules?

[neenerbutt92]

I have two new ducklings that hatched, one from under a chicken the other from under a muscovy duck. One I know has a Welsh Harlequin momma.....but is its daddy a muscovy? Its daddy could be muscovy, peking, and maybe mallard (they are kinda young...but have big boy feathers) It's the first picture. The other either has a pekin mother and a magpie daddy or a muscovy mother and father or muscovy mom and pekin or magpie dad....its feet are really orange, so I'm thinking pekin mom and magpie dad. What do you all think....do they have muscovy in them? I sure hope not!

Hope all this makes since!!

I wouldn't think you will know for sure until they are fully feathered out and it gives some clue whether there is Muscovy in them. If there is Scovy, they are mules.

Alright, that's what I was afraid of.

Thank you!
