Muscovy keepers share your pics!

I did

I did read about a bacteria/parasite, but I figure there would have been an ill period where it's apparent no? She was neck extended and feet behind like some people noted in threads.

It could have drowned from breeding, it can happen on accident. Or an egg issue. They can die suddenly with little sign. Sometimes new layers can have some issues and show no signs. Going in the water can help them lay eggs. But something else could of happened too. It is really hard to tell for sure.

Apollo, my senior drake. His chest feathers were plucked last Spring during mating, thankfully, I see pin feathers coming in.

Latté, who is supposed to be a drake but I now have no idea! I hope it's a drake...

And Cloud, the Mystery Drake. Love the lacing on his wings, but can't find any patterns that match this in the Muscovy.

Yes, it was raining.

Thanks! Your lavenders are beautiful too. I would love one, but too far away.

You’re welcome! Thank you, I’d definitely give you one if you weren’t far

I just noticed that Apollo looks like he has angel wing in that shot! I'm about 99.9% sure that just another duck hiding behind him!

Are you giving away my duck!?!

Here are two of my Scovies. No fancy colors, bad camera, and they're kind of molting.
