Muscovy mix?!?

[CaliFarmsAR]

Hey there y’all, my Muscovy hatched a duckling and I’m wondering if you can help me out? It’s egg looked like a Muscovy, but it definitely would be a mix if anything. Thank you for any help and advice

It looks like a pure Muscovy to me. So cute!

But then I've never seen a Muscovy cross as a duckling. I'm not sure how different they look. You might have to wait until it's closer to an adult to know. You have Muscovy drakes and non-Muscovy drakes in the same area?

Edit: The tail and bill look like a Muscovy's, anyway. The color seems a bit odd.

Yes, they all live in the same pen.

Hello All, I have a young Peking that has joined my Moscovy flock. All are getting along. I am wondering if the Peking will try to mate with the Moscovys? Would that be a problem? Thanks! And Happy (almost) New year!!

He definitely might try, I had a Indian Runner drake mate my Muscovy hen! It would be a good idea to get him some females of his kind because Muscovies communication is different then other ducks!! Also, Happy (almost) New Year!!!

Thank you! Sadly, he died in a very bad storm… I named him Cray. I went out in the storm looking for him, but was to late.

Oh. Was he the only duckling?

He had a sister who hatched a few days after him, but hes the only one who died in the storm… well besides a baby turkey I had.

@CRmuscovy, he sadly died in a horrible storm we had.
