Scobie babies!!!

I LOVE!!!
Are the very light gray & yellow ones going to grow up to be those smokey colored muscovy?

 

[Gone-Ducky]

Im hope so I have a 1 solid blue duck and a 1 blue pie drake. Im keeping the 3 "yellow and grey" hoping for blues

we will see!

 

[Scovy Momma]

ooooh! I hope you get blues! I don't really know much on the different colors of muscovies but there are so many pretty ones on this site.

what colour are the parents? blue and blue? the grey on in the food bowl looks silver to me, the one in front of the green bowl looks silver barred, the yellow one down the bottom looks blue or black barred and i'd guess the yellow one above the food bowl looks to have colour as well.

smokey/fume colour muscovy hatch out yellow, pretty much like a white duckling but with some tan or orange tinge to them. you have to have the sepia gene to get fume ans its both blue and sepia at the same time.

oh the darker ones are blues and blacks.

WOW! Thanks! I'll try and post some more pics of them today and see what people think as far as colors "might" go I dont know to much on genetics just a bit here and there. But as far as parnts go the females I have are solid black, solid blue (i guess lol) and one black and white pie and a black laced pie.... and the daddys one is mostly black with a white bib and the other is a blue pie.

Here are a few pictures of some of my duckling maybe someone could help me out on coloring them? I'm new to Muscovy genetics, any help will be much appreciated.

17 Muscovy duckies taking a bath. Most of them are in the freezer now.

Below are two of the four we kept for breeding. The male, dubbed "Big Thunder" is so big that our dog can come right up to him and instead of running away he just stands there and hisses at the dog.
