Muscovy Lovers whats your favorite color?

[cracking up]

Yes, I had four test eggs and one extra. Three hatched and they all turned out to be males. I already had a black female but that was my only muscovy. Her quality isn't nearly as good as theirs.

Blue X Chocolate= Blue boys & girls(with boy split to Choc) & Normal boys & girls(with boys split choc).
Blue X Lilac= Silver boys & girls(with boys s/choc), Blue boys and girls(with boys s/choc) and normal boys and girls(with boys s/choc)

RFF,
Also since you hatched a chocolate from your solid pen, your Blue drake is split to chocolate, so here are the possibilities -
Blue /chocolate drake X Chocolate duck = Blue boys & girls(with boy split to Choc)
Normal(Black) boys & girls(with boys split choc)
Lilac boys & girls
Chocolate boys & girls
With him being split to Chocolate adds more to the lilac duck mating also, here are the possibilities -
Blue /chocolate drake X Lilac duck= Silver boys & girls(with boys s/choc),
Blue boys & girls(with boys s/choc)
Normal(Black) boys and girls(with boys s/choc)
Lilac boys & girls
Chocolate boys & girls
and the best for last Buff boys & girls

Swheat, You really know your genetics! It's so fun to have a 'cheat sheet' and not have to wade through muscovy sites trying to find answers.

Your lavender birds are beautiful.

I suppose I could post some of my kids since I started this topic. lol

Hen. What color is she again? I'm really not so great with colors. lol

I love this little girl. This would be a Choc Pied right? She is way sassy. She was chasing my silky hen around the yard tonight it was funny!

Another hen. She seems to be getting more color in her the older she gets. Not sure this color. Chime in please. I posted some of these before but have a terrible memory.

Troublesome Twosome. These to little brats are causing problems already!

Donald and his mohawk. He was upset because the Gang of Guineas was up at the food bowl causing trouble as usual. Don't know his color either.

And Einstein. When he has all his feather on his head he has a lil cow lick that makes me think of Alber Einstein for some reason. lol more to come...trust me!

Looking at all these pics made me get the camera out yesterday. After I was taking some pics I wondered how many scovies did I have here. I had a total count of 51, 15 of those are adults and 2 ducks on the nest. GOT SCOVIES ? I DO

The Blues Brothers

The barred family-

Blue bar girl and her dark friend...

Blue Pied boy

This one is my Shadow..If I stop for a second I have to look to see where he is before I take another step..he is always on my heels.

These are Chocolates, Ripples, and Chocolate Ripples ~Brian Shultz bloodline~ I do have 3 of my younger ones in the brooder(normal colored, chocolate pied and a light one I haven't figured out yet).
