I hope not

Although to two younger ones seem to be more slender and are not as big and full as the older one at the same age. I was hoping for at least two females and one male yikes what would I do with three boys

Fingers crossed for you!!! Hope they turn out to be ladies. If they seem slender and have "girly" faces they could very well be ladies.

Legs are a big giveaway, my drakes legs looked like tree stumps at 10 weeks compared to slender legs on my ducks

now 8 and 11 weeks old, any one got any clues to wether male or female?

Those all look like drakes to me, sorry. Do you have the mama? or any female Muscovy? (adults) They will make the mama look small by 8wks... trust me, i had a hatch of 9 in June.. 8 are drakes and only one is a duck.

If you don't have any ducks you'll be fine.. i mean obviously you don't get eggs but a flock of drakes will likely be okay when raised together it's when you add the girls all heck breaks loose!

I'll humor and put a pic of mine.. you will see how all the boys dwarf their sister. BRB

Ok here is a shot.. Lilly the mum is in the middle, can you find our baby girl? she's the only chocolate of the hatch. She's in the back, to the left of Lilly



I'll do another.. showing the duckling more clearly.. she is nameless at the moment lol she's my oldest dd's so she's awaiting a teens fickleness.. she should be no name at this rate

She is the one that it appears like her tail is touching the feeder... i have a shot of her up against Lilly(mama) and she is so small ... they are June 12/13 hatches so 7wks old.

Here shot of her up against mama while a brother swims in a water bowl

oh and before somebody goes how does an entirely white duck hatch out all coloured babies? easy they are not her's... the mum is a blue, dad either a white capped or black barred.. just Lilac.. good brooder, awful mother!

 

[Going Quackers]

And while i am already at it.. colour help... the one to the right is a blue.. but what about to the left? it's lighter more... um, purple tones? is it just a lighter blue? or something else. Thanks!

PS; yes they have outgrown the baby trough but clearly do not get that concept lol

Some updated pictures of my Scovies I have decided to name them Yin and Yang...

Yang... our Drake

Yin... our Duck (for some reason the computer wanted this picture to look horribly orange... ugh)

I really love his Blue Eyes

Yin and Yang

Lovin' my Scovies!

Thanks for the guesses, I don't have the momma to compare to. I was really hoping for eggs though but I love them even if they are all boys

Was thinking about getting some indian runners or khaki campbells to add to the group but I haven't found any around my area

Everyone has such beautiful babies!
