Beautiful! I love how different each one is. I cant wait to get some, in fact a deal might be in the works for me to pick some up tomorrow, so excited! I love scovies!
Totally unrelated note, keeperofthehearth, I see you are from Wabash, I grew up in "Hobbit Land", if you dont know where that is, shame on you, (it is just outside LaFountain).

New babies to add to the chocolate pen....praying 2 are girls and 1 is a boy..my 'drake' just turned into a hen yesterday

the blackie is just because

the markings were so unique i just had to. i think him & the funky-marked chocolate one might end up mostly white. i've never seen a scovy baby marked that way, whatta you guys think?

 

[keeperofthehearth]

Awwww! Those ducklings are swwweeeeet! Those two "funky" ones are "Pied" Scovies. They will be just beautiful I bet. Congrats on the new ducklings.

I have some I will upload soon. However I am in Savannah, GA and looking for a good home for a 6 month old drake. He is very sweet and likes people.

Thanks Keeper! I knew it was gonna be a suprise with them...the brooding momma was solid black and had 80% chocolate babies, a couple blacks & 2 blues..the blues were pretty muddy colored though & i needed new chocolates.

the lady had all kinds, i am hoping they will turn out with more color than the really pied ones & solid white heads, i always thought that 'cap' looked funny.

i traded her 2 black drakes (1.5months old) for these 4. i couldnt turn them down when i saw all the little brown babies running around

Thanks for sharing your Scovies with us, bishopschickens.
I like the looks of white patch against the dark head on the one blue girl. Very nice! Scovies are so much fun!

How do you sex them? I have 2 that I purchased as ducklings back in May. Now they are around 4 months old.

 

[keeperofthehearth]

By 4mo. it should be pretty easy to visually sex them. The boys are a lot bigger than the girls,(generally twice the size of the girls or better), have more caruncles, thick legs, big feet and should be hissing about now. The girls will be smaller w/more delicate features, less caruncling & should trill, peep but not hiss unless they are upset. My girls can fly but only a few our boys can and they don't make it more than a ft. or two, poss. 3' w/help, into the air.

Pls Post some pic's, if you have any.
