And that too, lol... they have more yellow as well...

Do they? I've only raised ~12 Mallards and Rouens, and I'm not real good at paying attention to details.

Might be more of an optical illusion, but the lines between the yellow and dark on Muscovies is clearer and yellow is brighter/cleaner... *usually*...

There's exceptions to every rule, lol...

They all look the same to me, lol, except for the eyes. Maybe if I had two side-by-side I could tell?
