Is it just me or do they look like they have stumpy tails for scovies in the photos?

they are from young parents, mum was 6 months old dad was 8 months, its probably why they look a bit stumpy.


lydia - silly of me to forget the age they are 8 weeks and 2 days exactly in the photos.

They are so cute! I love their faces. I really don't know if I could ever have another breed of duck since I started out with Muscovies 7 years ago, they are so special. I really like the bronze and had never heard of that color till I saw yours.

It looks like it has a "base" color of lilac or possibly buff and then the odd chocolate spots. Definitely has the brown legs. It also has a pied pattern so it should color in like momma(who is molting right now!)... I will just have to wait and see exactly what color it's going to be thoguh. Never had one like this before!

hi, i've had a look at your updated pics. here's my opinion, 1 - male 2 - male - 3 - no idea! hard to tell from pic 4 - female - 5 - needed a head shot from the side but if its the same age as the others its a male, its feathered up slower.
