Magnificent Marvelous Muscovies!

It is interesting how different Muscovy eggs are from the eggs of ducks in the Anas group of species: https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jsnfs1949/32/2/32_2_93/_article

Okay lovelies, I have head scratcher question for you! With the 6 babies, my husband pointed out last night, 2 have "pink" legs and 4 have "yellow". By this I mean, the pink ones are just pinker than the others. Do you think this has to do with parents colouring?

It probably does, but I can't say for sure. I don't know a whole lot about Muscovy genetics.

One of the pied girls has finally laid her first egg. Let's not assume it was laid anywhere sensible or clean, but hey, it's an egg! I gave up poultry while I was finishing my degree, so it's our first home laid egg in a long time.

Its always so exciting finding that first egg isn't it? and the 2nd... and 3rd.... and 4th.... and 50th
