Muscovy, guess adult colors from down

[Alaskan]

Can anyone guess what colors these will be?

This one is yellow but with a dark tail.

And... the 4 yellow spots on the back means something... right?

Looks like black wild type, a chocolate pied, I think, and the yellow is a barred black.

So yellow with a dark tail is a barred black??

Wow! Silly duckling fluff! I would have guessed silver...

It will get barring as it starts to feather out, than feathers will turn mostly black, but a few bars will remain in the chest most times.

Here's a bit of information,

Hi there! I'm new to the community but I'm not new to Muscovy ducks! I live in South Florida and they are all over the lake that we live on. What do you mean when you say barring?

I say black and white as well, but wouldn't it be nice if they stayed this color? I don't understand why they don't come out with white and black fluff if that's the color they're going to end up being. Isn't nature strange?

Yes! I keep looking at this duckling, Yellow except for that tiny bit of color on the tail....


Wild... that it will be all or mostly black.

Thank you very much! When I first read the thread I neglected to open the link that you provided. I will do so right now. And again, thank you.
