Yes those are the same one. We call her/him pearl...she is a stinker haha. I change my mind on who is what every day. One is seeming to slow down on the growth (darkest one).

Ok here we go. I forgot I had these on my camera. I will label them with their current names to make this easier.

Sara, this is the one with the long "butt area" looks totally different than the other fours back ends



Layla (a note on this one...huge thick legs but seemingly this one is staying smaller so far and to me its face is so girly but big beak so probably boy?)

I will have to take new ones of the other 2 tomorrow.

Oops, I take it back. Pearl has beefy long legs. The bill is still shorter than the others... Drives ya nuts.
Layla looks like a drake.

I have 3 girls like him

What color are you calling them? Did you breed them, know what the parents are? How would you plug them into the muscovy calculator? (N/N) (ch/-) (?/?)
I would love see some pictures of them.

I call them buff, buff comes from lilacxlilac. I do not have their parents though

Thank you so much for posting the pictures. Its easy to find pictures of white, black, blue and even chocolate. For me, seeing the different variations of buff, is extremely helpful.

N/n ch/ch L/L= Lilac drake

N/n ch/- L/L = Lilac hen

N/N ch/- L/L= Buff hen

N/N ch/ch l/l =Buff cream drake

N/N ch/- l/l = Buff cream hen

Therry did you ever look at the uglyduckfarm website? I'm asking because I wonder what your impression was of the Buff cream compared to your buffs. I think it said something along the lines of, anytime you see coloration like this it's a pastel. I feel like I'm missing the vital clue they are trying to demonstrate with the photo.

Are you talking about mine? He was in hatch group that had barred ducklings. He was a light tan wild type duckling. Now, I have to go back and read up on cream...

muttering
cream, cream, cream, I know that's from chocolate.......

 

[jennifleur]

Ok, I see what txcarl is saying now. That the gray color on the tail and wings is lavender showing through and not silver? And the rust color is the chocolate.
Cream
ch/ch l/l *hold the silver
From photos I have seen, and I haven't seen many. I thought the cream would be more like Wobbles duck named pearl. (photos above) Pearl had that not quite white look with creamy yellow tinge.

I was playing with the calculator, rarest muscovy color/pattern ever in the USA

Buff cream loony?
or Buff cream loony duclair?

Anyone have picture of one of these?


*loony being combo of barred and rippled
