Muscovy keepers share your pics!

[Hillarys zoo]

Hi, I'm new here and new to muscovies. Love them so far!! They're so sweet and tame compared with other duck breeds I've raised. My brood are about 7 weeks old and I think I've wound up with 1 female and 4 males. Now to decide which to keep, and which to eat... The photos below are from about 6 weeks old. I'm curious about how their coloring will turn out. One seems to blue and white barred, two look black barred and the fourth is turning out grey/chocolate. The female looks blue and white pied with a black head. Any clues on what these guys might look like as they grow up? First pic includes some runner ducklings.


Fun to see all your photos!

She is just a sun bleached black hen. Here is a pic of her earlier this year when she was less sun bleached.

Looked like Lando was doing Happy Dance

My silly little boy! He is a hopper,sometimes to the point of where I have to stop him or he'll hurt his tiny feet. I guess it is his Happy Dance because he usually is only hoppy when he's happy! hahaha!

Well any ducklings yet?

Sorry the heat has been running me ragged. She hatched 11 ducklings and there were no eggs left in the nest

the parents are pure white so every one is the same bright yellow with big eyes they are so dag-gone cute. I just took some pics they are growing fast they are a little dirty from playing in paddles this morning after the rain

I raise White Muscovies and wanted to add some colored ones so My daughter and I picked out a pair of colored Ducklings they are really sweet The male is a Blue Bibbed he has yellow feet it looks like he is wearing flippers

and I have no idea what to call the girl's color any ideas? she is Chocolate with Bronze and looks like she could be rippled is that what I should call her?
Sorry the background is gross we got some much needed rain and you all know what that does to a duck pen!

My muscovys Zoe and Kaylee. They are so much more impy than my other ducks! Oh, and Zoe (the black one) has coppery coloring on her chest, is that normal?
Here they are on top of my chicken coop
