OMG Lilmaran - I'm so sorry! You're scovies were so pretty, too!

Yup, only the one chocolate. All the possible parents are black/white. The last batch from my other hen was mostly black/white with two chocolate girls, and one white drake with blue eyes. But I think mine are mostly black/white line.

Black masks a lot of things. Chocolate is sex-linked so you can pretty much take to the bank with the parents you have any you get will be female.

Your Musky's are gorgeous Gaitngirl ! Especially the brown duck and the white drake. Excellent pics as well.

How fun! i got one chocolate last year the rest were black & white and blues, but mama is a blue with a slight hint of chocolate lol sounds like a desert...

Was out playing with the camera today . . . the lighting wasn't so great but the ducks were cooperating at least, lol.

Very nice and my gosh, you have a drake just like my spot!

Yes, please elaborate.

Okay my Muscovy's died of some pond water they drank it had a dead mouse in it I sent the corpses in for testing and I will get them tomorrow or later this upcoming week to make shore that it wasn't something more dangerous, My Muscovy's were 10 2/3 months and counting, R.I.P these were my first batch of Muscovy's and I let them free range (BAD IDEA) I have 8 Muscovy's I let my sis try keeping at her property for 2 months and I was getting them back in a week to rejoin the flock, thanks for caring everyone

I will let you know what the results are as soon as I get them, for now I gotta cross my
fingers and hope for the best

if you have any suggestions I'd be happy to hear them, btw CUTE pics everyone I wish you all the best of luck with your scovies

Hope you get some answers and that its a easy to fix freak thing. Best leave the birds at your sis's til you're sure.
Dead mouse in a pond dosen't sound reasonably responsible - scovies eat mice. Unless some poison/chemical has leached into your water table there. Hope not. Are you on a well?

 

[gaitngirl]

Thank you!

They could definitely be twins!!! Yours has more carnunckly carnuncles, lol. How old is he?

 

[EdenCamp]

Thank you!

No, seriously - if you are on a well - don't drink the water!
Have the health dept check your water ASAP.
If you have something toxic seeping in the water table.......not good.
Could be doing bad things to your family.
