Muscovy-Pekin crosses! So Beautiful

[hentown]

I have 2 Muscovy hens. One is chocolate and one is violet. They collected about 12 eggs, and sat together on the eggs for a month. They were very diligent. I now have two gorgeous crosses - one named Penguin and one named Brownie. The chocolate has already started a new batch of eggs - can’t wait to see the hatchlings!!

Very beautiful birds, I have 3 muscovies setting eggs right now and I have a Muscovy Drake and Pekin drake that are buddies and mate with all the hens often, it will be interesting to see what hatches.

Please post pictures! One of these ducklings has gotten so large it is as big or bigger than the Pekins! They stay side by side all day, just like their Moms did while hatching and raising them early on. Great ducks!

They are pretty. The Muscovy x pekins are called mulards. And since the mum is a Muscovy and the dad is a mallard Domestic type they are Hinnies. I have two but they are Muscovy x Mallards and I’ve been calling them mules (Muscovy dad x mallard Domestic mum) the whole time even though they are Hinnies. Here’s a photo of Sumo a hinny drake:
