Muscovy keepers share your pics!

That's just dangerous!   All three of my incubators are full now - the ducklings are wiggling in their shells (still a few more days to go until hatch, but was able to see bills in the air cells last night) and the chicks are coming right along (chicks are so easy, relatively speaking). 
I'm seriously thinking that the next purchase is going to be a cabinet incubator...  It all starts innocently enough with a smallish incubator, then the next thing you know...lol! 

I'm excited! My East Indies ducklings are coming today and hopefully next year I can hatch and sell ducklings maybe. And I want to play with my Bantam frizzled roo, and my blue Wyandottes, and my EEs, and my Muscovy, and..... well yeah its going to be a problem. Oh and turkeys and my royal purple guineas, and snowy mallards..... oh boy

Congrats on your East Indies! Hope you'll show them off here.

So many eggs/species and so little room in the incubator...and in the brooder...lol. Best to you in your incubating adventures - hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Anyone know what color the lighter guy is? I know the sibling is pied chocolate, but what is he? (or she, I guess)

When I got my first muscovies, I went to a farm. There was a broody Muscovy on some eggs, and she lifted up to show me. She was like "See? I'll be a mom soon!" My Waffles? She is vicious. I go in the coop, and she will bite me and just shake her head like she's trying to rip my skin off. Long sleeves? SHE HANGS ON.

Possibly Blue fawn? @learycow

What color are the parents? Looks like a silver to me

Mothers are chocolate or chocolate pied and all potential egg layers for this nest were out of my black pied drake. Father is either the black pied that carries chocolate or a chocolate drake I got in the fall. Both drakes are in my profile pic. I've never had this color pop up. It looks like one of the other siblings are black or at least a dark colored pied too, which is weird.

I need advice I have 8 muscovys I think 3 males and 5 females. Three are mostly white and much larger then the others so I assume those are males. My problem is the girls? Peck them and pull their wing feathers out. I have tried multiple no peck products. I had them separated for 3 weeks to let them heal up but the second I tried to reintroduce them the blood bath started again. They don't try to stand up for themselves at all. Not even to the tiny brown duck that is hslf its size. Could it be that one of the females is actually male and just claimed the girls to himself? They are about 10 weeks old. Help!
