Muscovy keepers share your pics!

And that's how it happened

I would like to know the genetic and metabolic reasons for this kind of change.

I mean for the change of plumage colouring

I love Chocolate whether in a Muscovy or in something to eat.

I had a chocolate up until last week when she disappeared

I had a chocolate up until last week when she disappeared

Did she fly away? or something took her?

I don't know I can't find feathers and she hadn't had her wings clipped since April

Had she been in molt? if not then if you clipped enough of her wing she may not have flown away and something may have taken her. did this happen during the day time? we have hawks around here that could probably carry off one of my lighter Muscovy's , also I've lost chickens during daylight hours that were free ranging so preds are around at all hours of the day sorry for your loss. My only chocolate died from laying problems

Speaking of chocolate, does anyone know where I can get chocolate muscovy hatching eggs? Just plain chocolate or chocolate ripple. I'd say barred would also be fine but I have no clue how that would act with my ripple drake.
