Help! Suspect it's eye problem

[ruthhope]

I think your ducklings are just begining to get feathers and the feathers are coming in dark. The eyes are completely normal and unaffected byt he color changes in the face. Muscovy colors change drmatically as they grow from tiny fluffies to full grown adult ducks.

I had an all yellow muscovy duckling that became mottled with dark feathers and then when he got his juvenile feathers he was a chocolate barred. Since then his colors changed again with his adult plumage. The photos were taken every 4-5 weeks last year to show you how muscovy appearances change

Thanks Ruth. Boy that is the same duck?! So dramatic how many changes it went through! Mine are starting to turn white (all the first feathers). I didn't expect them to stay white but the stuff around the eyes has me a bit concerned. Going to a avain vet just to make sure. It will be good to meet someone not too far who can help with any future issues. No vaccinations though!
