Well, hmmmmmm, looks more like "nap time" to me.

Nice pic though & a good look at your 3 colors. Your blue drake has a very nice looking face.

I would love to have a flock of scovies that consisted of every colour available

oh well, dreams are free

You and me both! I'm not sure if I can even talk my DH into one Chocolate pied let alone every color available.

Thank you! I also have chocolate pieds & black pieds.

I FINALLY got a few group shots of everyone.

I just realized today that in my "blue breeders", all my hens are a different color... 1blue, 1black, 1white, 1lavendar, 1silver....Not sure how i missed that before! Someone needs to send me a self-blue egg to complete my 'SET'!!

Updated pics of Murphy( Lilac Drake), I think hes SO pretty but i am still dying to have a Chocolate Drake!

Updated Pics of Montie(Silver Hen)

Yes, the white hens are on purpose

Almost forgot about little baby Numa..not sure yet if it's a hen or drake..(hen

)

Very Pretty trio there, chseeads.

Bleenie, thanks for the update. You do have some very pretty Scovies! Doesn't look like will have any trouble selling off your ducklings in the spring with all those pretty colors.

How's Sidney doing?

Thank you Keeper

I'm glad they all turned out so pretty. they look nothing like their parents & grandparents!

Sidney is doing great now, back to his old self & finally has his color back...it was saddening looking at his orange face there for so long, i almost thought he was going to be stuck that way!

There's a lot of Black Muscovies around here, some Blues & VERY few chocolates. I have been looking for a drake near me forever now.

People are still selling the ducklings for $8ea and Adults and Juvies for $20-$45...it's crazy. I am lucky i found my babies way early in the year and got them all for $1/ea

& $9 for the Juvies... and they were colored birds too!! It still amazes me but i am super thankful.

I will probably sell mine around $5 or something when the time comes... going to be hard to see them go though

I am going to try to have a pen set up for the "for sale" birds... i think that might help me to say goodbye instead of keeping 100 more babies!!

Does anyone know if Blue over Lavendar is the same as Blue over Silver?

I've got no idea what to expect from my Lavendar girl Lilly.

I've never seen a lavendar until her & She is definitely Sid's favorite girl.

Our little Foundling, Muscovy
(Thanks to everyone who helped us figure out the breed!

)
(Also just figured out what "scovy" meant - ha!)

Soooo Cute! That Scovy is going to be such a pretty Ducliar Pied! Such clear color patterns. Do you know what you are going to do with it since it is a domestic Scovy and not wild?
