Thanks for joining us here at the Magnificent Marvelous Muscovies thread! Your duckling looks like it might be blue fawn with white
bibbing though I'm not 100% sure. It will be easier to tell when it has all it's feathers in.

Happy Muscovy-ing!

Thank you so much! I googled blue fawn muscovy and found this pic. I can definitely see it when compared!

I'm glad you figured it out! Blue Fawn is one of my favorite colors of Muscovy! I absolutely love it! :love

I have several blue fawn Muscovies.

Yeah, I've got ducklings again, finally!!!!! :yesss:

I guess you could say I am a bit super overly eggcited!!! :gig

Yasmin hatched out 10 beautiful ducklings yesterday! The only bad thing is that 2 of them escaped the nest and died. :hit

Today Chava's eggs are hatching! She has 2 ducklings so far and I'm pretty sure she has 11 eggs left to hatch out. I suppose I am too eggcited to remember. :gig

Yasmin's ducklings are an array of colors. They are absolutely adorable!
Here is Yasmin and her ducklings, and no that is not the same nest she incubated the eggs in! I made this makeshift nest for her so that she can still be happy to have a nest and not have ducklings that escape and can't get back in the nest because that will only result in dead ducklings.

Here is Chava. Notice where she made her nest?! In a very silly spot! She even chewed up some Styrofoam board to line her nest with! Imagine that! Does that not sound like something a Muscovy would do?! :gig

I also got a little video of one of my cutest drakes (Cocoa), being cute, but unfortunately it won't let me upload it! I've really been thinking I need to start a YouTube channel so I can post videos of my precious adorable ducks!

Anybody wanna join me?!

Happy Muscovy-ing to all you fellow Muscovy owners! Have a blessed day!

More pics of the ducklings because they're sooooo cute! Chava's eggs hatched too! She has 10 ducklings. Chava and Yasmin now have 18 ducklings total.
I let them outside today and they're very happy! I have them altogether and the hens aren't fighting over the ducklings, so I'm quite pleased!
