Muscovy keepers share your pics!

[Miss Lydia]

Here`s an update. Still not sure boy or girl. He/she is almost the same size as the older ducks.
Later this week they are expecting snow over here! Brrrr... For three of them it will be the first time. Also for my chickens. I hope they will finally use the duckhouse i build for them...

What beautiful pics of your "Duck"

Sorry to break it to you but at this stage I'm going with drake judging on the thickness of his legs and neck and also the size you say he is. He is still very beautiful though!!

Although I'm by no means any duck expert as this is my first year with Muscovies. So I may be wrong

I'm looking at leg and feet also legs are set close together under body, and feet almost over lap which is much more duck than drake plus more of the American football shape in body. But I know how easily they can fool ya so we will see

for comparison 3 month old drake too bad we can't get them side by side.

Muskuslove, since this lil one is almost same size as your ducks compare legs and feet of this one to your girls.

That is a beautiful drake Miss Lydia! I see now what you mean with the legs. Well, time will tell.
This little guy/girl whas brought to me as someone had found him beside the road. I have no idea how old he/she is. I`m quessing 2,5 monds now.
The tail is a bit ugly. It looks as if he took a bite out of it. But the feathers that are coming through now are looking good.

Hmm well i run some buff orpingtons with mine that said they were actually raised with some duckling Muscovies and stay primarily with them. They hold their own though.
