Muscovy keepers share your pics!

I'm on the fence, most sexual differences become more apparent after 4 weeks, so you may have to wait just a few more weeks. I'm leaning male on the white, but I can't be definite about any currently. I only breed occasionally so it's been a bit since I last had to figure it out.

I realized after posting that she said 4 almost 5 weeks. I looked back on my pics and mine look so little then. Lol Not sure if I would have been able to tell at that point if I didn't already know.

Here’s one more picture from this morning. If you enlarge the pic you can get a better view of their legs.

Thank you.

Differences should start becoming more apparent in the next month. It can be harder to see stuff in photos that you can see in person. I still think the white is a male by it's built. Please keep updating.

Bell sitting on her nest of 4 eggs. It's the only time I get to pet her a little. I don't touch her too much since I don't want to stress her. She's trying to bite me in the top picture, but it's more like nibbling.

Very pretty hen. My muscovy are vicious setters. You're brave.

When candling muscovy eggs do you, or anyone else know how soon I should see veins?

 

[Lil Drake40]

I see veins around day 7.

Beautiful birds!! I HOPE to become an owner of a few Muscovy this year so I love to see the pics and read info.

So if I'm seeing nothing by day 10 they are duds? I don't think my drake is doing his job.

How old is your drake? I’d give it a few more days just to know for sure but eggs probably aren’t fertile
