I bought some Muscovy eggs on Ebay. Only 2 hatched. I think they are barred chocolates from what I've read and what the breeder posted?? These are my first muscovies. They are much different than all of the other ducklings I have had. Granted they are only 1 week old now but I've noticed they don't play in their water, don't eat and poop as much and aren't growing as rapidly. Their legs are much tinier and seem very fragile compared to others. I am hoping I have a boy and a girl. I've named them Fred and Ethel.
How soon can you tell? These two are the most adorable lings I've had. I think it's because they are easy clean up and already have cute little attitudes. They come out from under their mommy heating pad to eat/drink then run a few laps and then back under.

They are adorable and that is just how my barred looked when tiny. Be sure to give them Nutritional yeast or Brewers yeast human grade for at least 10 weeks.

These two are quite the characters. They stay under their mommy heating pad until I call them out and then they run around in circles like crazy. It's the funniest thing ever. I did get to witness the projectile poop tonight
Hey, guys! I'm a new Muscovy owner I only got one brown one which I hope is a female. And I'm getting more tomorrow maybe 2 or 3. Mine is pretty young and I want to get young ones. How do I tell the sex when they're like 3/4 months? And how are they with chickens? Mines are together right now and everything fine. Would really like any tips for this breed!
