Don't feel stupid.... We all have to start some where. I only have my genetics knowledge because of HOURS of research and reading! Lol also took a genetics course in college so I understand the basics pretty well. Muscovy genetics are pretty easy it's chicken genetics that I get lost in. Too many patterns and recessive genes.

I suppose. I am getting good with chicken genetics. But I just got my scovys in april or may.

We all have something to learn, even the experienced breeders

Ok Muscovy people, here are some pictures of my babies. Any idea on the genders? I'm about 85% sure what they are, just need a little confirmation.


My only blue ripple of the year, it's one of the smaller ones so I'm really hoping it's a hen.



The four older ones, now almost 8 weeks old. (the runty one on the right is only about 4 weeks old)
I suspect both the black barred ones are drakes. Not sure on the black and white one.


''Leggings'', about 5 or 6 weeks old, has the best personality of all of them, which makes me think drake, though ''he'' is a lot smaller than the 2 confirmed drakes (a week younger) still with their mother.



The blue ripple and bibbed barred duckling. Hen and drake? Thanks.

Are my growing fears correct? Do I have mostly drakes?

Very true... The chocolate/black thing I just learned the other day from minihorse.

Why is there a problem with them all of a sudden

thats just the thing, people have complained months ago about my ducks crossing the street, well it wasn't my ducks it was geese, and apparently they complied that to me and this was months ago when geese had their goslings and were crossing the road. They will have to get them through my cold dead hands before i let anybody touch them. sorry that was epic rage right there but anyway, they can't take them away since they made that law only 3 years ago and I've had my scovies since 5th grade, if it means i can't have any more babies however so be it, i just want to keep my babies

Sad they don't know a difference between a duck n a goose
