Hi again guys!
Just wondering if anyone could tell me what colours my youngsters have?

Cream or silver ?

Thx in advance

Nr1





Nr2








Nr3







Nr4


Nr5

Number #1, 2, and 3 look like they might be cream or silver, but I'm not sure. This is my cream Muscovy (named Creamy), and she doesn't quite look the same:




Muscovy colors are: White, Black, Blue, Chocolate, Silver, Lavender (Self Blue), Buff, Blue Fawn, Lilac, Pastel, Barred, Rippled, White-headed, Magpie, Splashed, Wild Type, and a few more.

I've never seen many of these, so there's a chance it could be lavender, buff, blue fawn, or pastel. I don't know what those look like.

Number #4 and 5 look like chocolate barred. I love those two!

Thank you so much for your answer, what a lovely muscovy duck you have there! Beautiful. From what i see (they are not fully feathered yet) there is two silvers and one cream. Will keep you updated further on when they feather out.

Chocolate barred you say... hmm they are blue on top and chocolate in front, also barred yes, strange.. i have 3 of theese.

My muscovys were born on June 18th. How long before I will be able to tell if there male or female?

 

[quackingdom]

It takes about 1-2 months to be able to discern the sex. (I can often do it even earlier than that, because I've noticed different 'quirks' that differ in males and females.) If you use vent sexing, you can tell any time, but that's best done by someone experienced. But you should definitely be able to tell by mid-August.

This link lists the differences between juvenile males and females: http://www.raising-ducks.com/getting-started/muscovy/

When a duckling is about to hatch. What colour is the egg. This egg is a greyish colour. She's still sitting on it. I checked the other day with a flashlight and seen the duckling move. But today I noticed the colour and I didn't see it move. I still see vaines.

it actually depends, sometimes when its hatching blood can rush out of the membrane and cause a grayish color, other times its because there isn't a baby and the yolk went bad so it could be hatching soon

Unfortunatly the baby died. I found it in the yard after work.
