Muscovy keepers share your pics!

[Bleenie]

All of my girls got bellies last year, this year just the ones from my original stock, plus 2 got it. 2 of my broody girls werent even showing when they started to set. i guess it all depends on the 'lines' as to how extreme their egg bellies get.

My original birds are also a little chubbier built than the others

Here are my new girls!

Unfortunately one completely disappeared... I cannot figure it out. Their pen is totally enclosed - I kept my juvenile muscovies in there without anything getting in or them getting out. There are no feathers or other evidence of escape or a predator. But, I have the two girls and they're laying and filling up their nest box! Yay!

Thanks keeper. Her name is Mirth. Shes the youngest of the bunch. Actually ive been fighting with her since yesterday about letting her brood or not. I only have the 3 hens so I want them to keep laying so I switched her to a different pen and she started brooding there

. So I moved her back to the home pen and she went right to her buddies and they all started bobbing heads and playing in the pool. So im just like what the heck?!? Oh well at least shez cured...I think.

These are my latest babies Harmony (Blue Fawn

) and Juniper(color unknown). I was wondering if any of you color experts could tell me what color Juniper is. His parents are either a Blue Drake a black drake and a blue hen or a chocolate hen. All 4 are pieds. What the heck could he be? I didn't think it was possible to get a self white out of these combinations...is it?

Are any of them Pied? Maybe it's just a special baby

Is there any hint of color on it anywhere?
