I swear I had 3 black musovy duckling and 3 chocolate. Now we were watching them outside. I'm like didn't we have 3 chocolate and 3 black? My daughter was was sure too.

We go back looking for pictures and for some darn reason I can't find any the day they hatched. I clearly have 4 black and 2 chocolate. I still have no clue who's a duck and who's a drake. We have our guess with one as he's much bigger.


So what's up with them colour change? Is this normal? No big deal besides they make me think I'm going nuts lol.

The one guy/gal has some bad angel wings so he's all tapped up.

This is them when we got them as they were still under mom. Hatch day

Followed by May 10 1 month

And Today June 11th 2 months old

Maybe one was a dusky black, they look sort of brown at hatch.

They don't go from chocolate to black though.

Did one of them look like this duckling on the right?
The one on the right is a dusky black.

I can't remember if the colour was different but one had the same feet. Half coloured like that. My daughters favourite she need her Brie and is praying for her to be a girl.
