Muscovy keepers share your pics!

[Scovy Momma]

She is just there to add sweetness to the work place. How nice you are able to take her to work.

That she does! She makes these people on the phone a little more tolerable. You can't get mad at them when you're snuggling a duckling.

Well, it's not technically "legal"

She has been coming with me on slow days when I work with just one other person & because I can smuggle her in in my lunch box. It won't be easy for very much longer though

I'm gonna need a bigger lunchbox soon!

I'd keep a boy with more solid color - #2 looks like black barred? if so, that'd be a keeper for me!

I have a similar looking boy, 3 months old. He is a black on the left (sorry, I only have him in a group picture). He does not have perfect barring (note some extra white feathers on the chest), but he is still a handsome boy!

Only thing is no parent is barred so I think the barring will go away. However his coloring is different

Question: At about what age can you tell a scovys gender? Also, I have several ducklings that have barred feathers, does that mean they carry the barring gene? None of their parents are barred.

I vent sex at 1 month and thats how I tell. But u must be careful when doing it u can injure or kill ducklings. Other wise I can tell at 3-4 months when yhe stary getting red in the face.
