Muscovy keepers share your pics!

We sadly suffered our 1st loss the other day. We had a pair of matching blue girls and one of them disappeared during daytime without a trace. The remaining blue girl got very depressed, so we picked up two new girls (white and chocolate) for her today. She was so happy when we took them out of the box. It made our day to get them for her. Here they are... our new trio.



I'm glad she has new friends now!
They don't have any pecking order issues like chickens? (I'm a duck newbie)
 
Color question! I got these two new Muscovy ducks this winter, and I'm wondering if this girl is a Lilac or Blue Fawn color? Here are a few pics. I just LOVE her. She's so pretty. She's coming around to me, too :)

Anyone know what colors she can produce when covered by a white drake?


Such a pretty duck :)

With my chocolate for reference
 
Adorkable, there can be problems introducing new birds into an establish group, but these two new ones didn't know each other, so basically three solo ducks were put together into one group. They look super happy together this morning.

I'm not sure what her color would be called. She looks blue from the top but her chest looks chocolate. Maybe lilac but I'm not sure. Here is a link to a genetics calculator you can play with http://kippenjungle.nl/Overzicht.htm#muskuscalculator

Oh okay I see. Well I'm glad they're getting along well and seem happy

Her lacing is chocolate, not blue/black. I'm just not sure if she's a Lilac or a Blue Fawn... Mostly because I'm not sure what the difference is.

I'll check out that calculator :D Thanks!
