We're new to the Muscovies, all 4 of our 3 week olds have what looks like thinning fur/feathers on their shoulders and top part of wings, is this normal?...I'm thinking it is since all 4 look the same but if there is a deficiency, they may all show it also...Thanx inadvance!!!!!!!!

I just got these guys lastnight and they are my 1rst ducks ever. MUSCOVIES ROCK!!!!!!!

ETA: If anyone can tell me what colors they are and what colors I will get by breeding them that would be great (jus so you know, both the bluish and the fawnish duck have white chests and necks, not neckrings, just the fronts of their necks are white)

Is anyone interested in my Chocolate Hens & Lilac/Fawn-Blue Drake?

Because of wind storms and a HUGE, OLD tree right next to their pen, I have had to move them back in with the chickens. It's just WAY too overcrowded with all of them in there. I have decided to keep my blues & 2 of my oldest Lilac/Fawn-Blue hens.

I have looked for a home locally for them but had no luck, Just one lady that can't pick them up for a long time & i think doesn't want to pay for them. I am asking $100 for the 'set', that's 1 Drake & 3 Hens.

They just need a good home & i am willing to ship if you make all the arrangements & pay for shipping.


The available birds are Murphy, Teddy, Mocha & Dixie. Most pictures are labeled.

Bleenie, if you were closer id take them. Unfortunantly I dont have the means to pay the $100 + shipping. Hope you find a good home for them though and good luck!!!



Also- WOlf Queen - If you could get us some pictures without the glare that would be really helpful. The drake is white, and it looks like maybe a buff , Chocolate, blue or maybe lilac? Im just guessing since Im still learning up on my colors and patterns. BTW - Im SO jealous! I would love some color in my flock.

Sorry but the spot where my coop is at it is impossible not to get a glare

. But if it helps the fawnish one looks I guess cream colored mixed with a pale blue, the blueish one does sorta look lilacky but looks more blue than anything and just out of curiosity, is the chocolate a pied? and is there a pattern name for white with a head spot and whatever color that is solid except for a white front of the neck and white chest? Oh and by anychance do any of you know what colors these guys will produce?
Thanks, the Queen​

Beautiful Scovies, Wolf Queen! The chocolate pattern is pied. The white on just the front of the neck & down just a bit on the front of the chest is bibbed. The drake is just white. Many of the white Scovies you can get fm hatcheries have that black patch on their head. MDC(Muscovy Duck Central) has a website w/color genetic combo's and I believe so does Cottage Rose. If you look them up on the user list you can click onto their websites. Your Scovies are pretty young yet so once they molt out into their adult plummage it may be easier to identify their colors. They may darken up a bit. Generally they use the drakes color X to determine color production and percentage.
How's ALBQ. ? I met my DH in Albq. and lived there near UNM for about 7yrs until we moved to Denver, CO area.
We miss the Southwest. ESP. as winter is comin on.

Bleenie, sorry to hear you need to rehome your beautiful chocolates! Sigh!!!! I'd love them BUT it isn't going to happen.
