The gal I got them from was a bit baffled by the coloring, but the only ducks she had were the runners and the muscovies.

I have a khaki/muscovy cross from this Spring and another one that is 2 years old. Both females, the older one even lays eggs seasonally like my pure muscovys. They both look alot like my 'scovies but just a little 'off'...

Ok, dumb question. I havent handled these guys yet. If I pick one up and carry it to hubby to present his gift, whats the likelyhood they will bite me? They aren't exactly tame.

They'll scratch you more than bite you. So be careful of the feet and pick up gently.

they don't mean to scratch either, they just have sharp nails. I'd wrap in a nice soft towel then present to hubby. mine Muscovy love to snuggle in a towel.

Oh yeah- those lacy feathers are to die for!

Does your hubby think they are cool?
