Muscovy genetic question

[iajewel]

Here is a white you may find intresting Her head is not white. Its hard to see but the red lacing goes up into the head, and she has some dark blue tipped feathers scattered only on her head.

I assume she has the same bronze gene the below draklett has, that is not over ridden by the white gene, this drakelett, a clutch mate, has the bronze through out his body with out the white gene, the blue behind him also has the broze, on the blue barred back ground.

ya... Muscovy are like Iowa weather. If you don't think you like them, wait a day, they will change. I have a clutch coming up that Im really dying to see their first molt. I don't think after the wonder of Muscovy color I could ever raise a breed that is all the same. I do have a website Im posting photos of adults on today. The server keeps slowing down so could be a while, however if you check www.oneskyranch.99k.org I should have them going before tomorrow. I have the FTP on auto, so as soon as the server kicks in, they will be up.
