Muscovies - what colour are we?

[Miss Lydia]

Yours is a blue fawn pied, which is much darker than the ones in question. I have 1 blue fawn pied hen and a juvie solid blue fawn hen.

Here with Blue fawn Pied momma on the left and also a juvie chocolate female on the back right. The Blue Fawn Pied Hen raised a clutch of 17 ducklings this year.

They are gorgeous and thank you for letting me know the color of mine . Actually we need ian he is in Australia and since it's getting warm there he is probably busy with ducklings but he is really good with colors. Eden Camp is another that is into colors. wonder where she has been? and you've probably seen this but I'll post it anyway..

Your cream looks like a buff. Cream is a much lighter color in muscovy ducks. Its a duck that looks "off-white". They can easily be mistaken for white unless you have a white muscovy next to it. Then it's obvious that its a cream and not white. So I would say yours is a buff since it is so dark and clearly not a white bird.

Not sure about the other one. Silver is different than that as well. A silver muscovy is a whitish/cream color with a very subtle hint of lavender/blue in the feathers.

I would say lavender but it also looks too light colored to be a lavender.

Possibly a lilac?

Would you be able to get some pics without the shadow and better lighting?

Very gorgeous birds. That's one thing I LOVE about the muscovies. They come in so many different colors!

I hate to ask, but what better light is there than full sun? Only one that's partially in the shadow is the pic of the female. The 2 different coloured boys are in full sun.

Sometimes it's easier to capture the real colors but taking pics when they are not in direct sunlight. By "better lighting" I didn't mean more sun, or a brighter area. I just meant take some pics of them in different lighting. You may have to experiment a little to get your pictures to show the proper colors.
I have to get the exact right type of light/background in order for y silver hen to look silver in a picture. Otherwise she just looks white.

That's all I meant by that
