Hi all,
So we just hatched four Muscovy ducklings, and I'm curious as to what colour they will be.
Duckling #1 is a yellow, which I'm assuming will be white.
Duckling #2 is yellow with a dusty brown head (one of their mothers was that colour as a duckling and she grew up to be white with a grey head)
Duckling #3 is a dirty yellow back, yellow chest and a dark grey head, (once again, a previous duckling of similar duckling grew up to be black with white chest)
Duckling #4 has me stumped. It is yellow, with a white patch on its right wing and its head. It's the youngest of them by a few hours, and was actually knocked out of it's egg by it's older sibling. I'm not particularly worried about it, I'm just curious as to what colour it may grow up to be. Will it be all white, or white and patched?
I've included a photo of Duckling 4, unfortunately it won't let me upload the others :/
