Black, sepia and chocolate. The drake in the bottom pic looks identical to mine, accept mine is a tad younger. when showing choco scovies, is purple tint not good? I know its not good on black birds.. Chocolate male

The purple sheen isn't really favored in judging but in some competitions they over look it. But if they lighting is right they can't even see so its ok

At what age will Muscovies begin laying?

I've had some come it at 4mths others later, truly varies by the bird and the season it was born. (hatched lol)

You have beautiful ducks I especially love the one with the whitish cream color it's beautiful, what did you breed to get her?

Thank you, well mum is in the above pic... the drake is the big black and white, he's homozygous brown.. The duck has a lot of brown in her too... she should be interesting to see how she grows out. I usually get blues, black and whites and a chocolate from this pairing at least that was what came of it a few years ago, again this little lady is a new combo lol
