Muscovy keepers share your pics!

Very sad day. I took those pictures this morning. Lost Swirl to a pump accident this afternoon

So sorry

Thanks @Miss Lydia and @Ren2014. Wish I could figure out what he is. I know nothing about frizzles or bantams. He was the funniest bird I've ever seen and him and his girls were the only ones left from the Muscovies flock. I think they are Hamburgs but not sure if they come in frizzle. For sure I have two silver spangled girls. Introducing my the new ladies to the rest of flock today. Neptune should be happy! All three are much bigger than Andromeda, the Queen of my ducks at the moment, even though they are over a year younger. Hopefully it goes well.

Hope so too. I have a Cochin frizzle bantam, I love that lil hen she is adorable and almost 9 yrs old.

Hi @Trifolium I was wondering if you or anyone else can tell me if my new girls as well as an all black girl without the black feet/bill could be from the same clutch. I asked the young man we got them from but I don't think he understood what I was asking.

My black/white one has dark feet and black nails. Also just want to make sure I have the colors right. The one on left is a silver and the one one the right is a blue? Not a big deal either way just want to know if we start having babies. Thanks!

Oh no, I am so very sorry. She was really pretty. There are many things that happen which we have no control over.

Looks like a lavender hen, black hen, and a blue drake all with canizie.

For being a pure lavender, I can't say for sure since it has a darker head... though that can be from poor conditions, color bleaching, sun-faded (which is odd since they are young and looks feathered out recently). Lavender has a even matt grey throughout the entire body. Lavender can also have other colors with it such a blue dilute, I personally haven't done that cross so I wouldn't know how a light lavender and silver lavender would look like.

My young silver/pearl-grey look more like this:

O wow, I have a young drake that looks just like this bottom of pic and I've been wondering what color.

I kinda thought the blue one might be a Drake when I went the first time so I picked a different one. The guy I got them from thought they were all girls but he was as new to Muscovies as I am I think lol. Will having two Drake's and three hens be okay for now? We have babies coming in May and can even out the group then.

Such a pretty color!
