Muscovy keepers share your pics!

I sent Yinepu a PM , so hopefully I can figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thank you for your help.

Keeping my fingers crossed that I'll at least have one duckling to post a picture of here in a few days. I guess we'll see how it goes.

I'll cross mine or you, too!

for buck, so you don't feel so bad about your pic. This was winter pic of my attempt at beard fashion.. not good and got thin too. Ferdinand the dracklet however looked adorable i think (he loves tummy rubs).

Cute picture!

That's adorable, and the beard ain't so bad either.

Haven't checked the other yet, but just noticed one of newer traded for scovys, has two extra partial toes on each foot. is this inbred trait, or just fluke? ill get pics if can as check other after they lay and sun comes back up.

maybe just me and bff, but scovy ducks seem so much cuter and cleaner than KCs i just got beginning of last month. the scovy go around in cute little lines or rows, and the KCs seem to just frantically stampede were ever they go, like brown bowling pins on wheels, in circles, till they hit into something, then either climb over each other or fall all over getting stuck like penguins then needing help getting upright again and back to going loopy. lol. Anyone here keep Australian spotted ducks, or cayugas, as compared to scovy and campbells? id heard from those on here many times about how scovys and KCs are kept together well all time, and figured scovy would be great to hatch out KC eggs, but now hooked on my scovys more so far. haven't found any Chinese geese eggs yet, except crosses, to try to hatch under scovys to raise up.

Hard to say when my muscovies got to in bred they just became stupid and all but one died at birth , but anyway it took a lot of begging and I got 8 new muscovy ducklings from Oklahoma and for Christmas I got a male from my local area. So it
Could be in bred but again it could be a mutation

Could/would the extra toes looking and acting sorta like parrot toes, be helpful to perching more, or over all bad for swimming (my scovy all stopped using pond as all churned up with mud now, probly from snapping turtles. also rest of scovy know not to go in busy road, but two new ones traded for don't stop going in and crossing occasionally, but once caught and gave warning whistle they scamper back out of harms way (male of mine thaey paired with sits at side of road whole time).

I would think it's definitely benefical towards perching

And also when mine already had large wings, so when those inbred te females wings were about the size of a males and hey we're much stronger, and the males wingspan got to about 5 feet may be 5 1/2 but definite my girls wingspan got 4 1/2 feet maybe larger, ( I hope I'm using the right scale in my mind of wingspan) and tey were so broad and they can fly so well now it's ridiculous so im tryin to breed them with my new ducks so their babies will be able to have those kinds of wings to , (and just a side not those inbred ducks that can fly really well aren't stupid and function as normal as possible I think it's just when they in breed to much)

Yeah so mine have really in average wingspan for muscovies like 2 feet extra and I will do some measurements tomorrow
