Muscovy keepers share your pics!

Why is the one nest that color

you know how under a mother it is very humid right, if her underside feathers were stained by dirt or something the color can rub off on the eggs, I've had it happen before and the eggs are perfectly fine

Hi all! I recently hatched a muscovy baby girl (I vent checked), and I have now recently noticed she has 2 different colored eyes! One is blue and the other is brown (also note she is 3 weeks old now) Is this normal? Her patterning is also weird, not full pied, but blue and has black splotches in it. Anyone else ever heard of anything like this? She seems healthy, she just looks silly! I'm on Mobil but I will try to post a picture soon. The rest of my ducklings are normal except for a full black one with a white bib. Odd ball out.
On that note it's hard to see in photos but I tried

Aww, shes so cute! One of the very first ducks I got with my drake had different colored eyes, one side was brown and the other was teal/greenish colored. She was mostly white with some black patches. Unfortunately she decided to fly away. To bad, since she was a beautiful duck.

Thank you buck! They are nervous first time mommas so I don't want to mess with them

I have been waiting almost two months for this. She has 7 eggs under her, unless she laid another tonight.
Her first 3 are under my broody hens since I thought she was going to stop laying after a few days like she did last time. Should I put the first three under her instead?

I would leave them under your hen since they will be farther along in incubation than these. Your hen will accept the ducklings as her own.

I forgot to mention that my hens also have 20 chicken eggs, the first of which should start hatching any day now the last have only been under them a few days. Also, the hens steal each others' eggs when either gets off the nest.

So one mama will get up with first hatchlings the other hopefully will stay till the end. That's alot of chicks running around.
