Black Muscovies

[Quacking Pigeon]

I have 5 black Muscovy drakes, and 2 black Muscovy ducks (I do have 3 more ducks but they have white bibs). 4 of the drakes are from my black Muscovy trio and the 3 bibbed ducks. Here are some pictures of my black scovy ducks and drakes:

One of the mothers of the drakes. She used to be a black, now after molt she is becoming more of a white-winged Black. She’ll be getting entered in the next show, as well as two of the young drakes.

Feel free to share pictures of your black muscovies or other colours. I look forward to seeing your masked scovy ducks or drakes.

Neat looking..I'm not a Muscovy lover either although those are very nice..

I have six muscovies, four ducks and two drakes. Once I get my chickens In their own coop, the ducks and chickens are separated but are in the same coop, I'll be looking for more females to keep over breeding at bay.

Here's my only black muscovy. She's not a fan of people so it's hard to take good pictures.

Two more girls and my chocolate drake.

Another duck.

Thank you! I have some pictures of wild muscovies that I've seen recently. They lived by a hospital pond.

They are also very beautiful especially that drake in the second pic!

When we were going somewhere once in the city, we passed a park and there were some scovies. I just wonder if they were dumped, as parks don’t usually have domestic ducks unless they were dumped.

In pa I have not seen any ducks at ponds in my lifetime except Wild Mallards. I am going to every pond and lake nearby to double check on that once it's warm out. I have never seen domestics anywhere public. I guess that's a really good thing! PA dumping laws especially on wildlife are crazy though and every public space now has security camera's live streaming to a police station. I will certainly always be on the look out for a needed rescue or feeding though!
