My newest addition ❤️

This beautiful baby joined me about 3-4 weeks ago. My male Rouen died and my female Cayuga was all alone so I started looking to find something fast as she was very lonely. Found a woman selling muscovys. I went and picked out this beautiful baby. Had some feathers but was still a lot of baby fuzz.. he/she is growing up to be beautiful. Still no name as I’m not sure if it is a boy or girl but I love him/her already and my Cayuga seems to be much happier with a friend (first pick is the week I got him/her and in just a month or so look how much she/he has grown

Beautiful

Lovely! Looks to be female, and she is a Black Barred. The barring will unfortunately fade as she moults into her adult feathering although some may remain on the chest and under the wings.

Thank you, I have been trying to figure out what sex but haven’t been able to confidently do so as I swear I heard a (hiss) come from her/him and articles say male but other things it has done has steared towards female.. I will be happy either way as all I wanted was a friend for my Cayuga. Finally named it last night Roan so the name works with way this breed is very different then all other duck breeds imo

Yes, females can have hissy fits too, lol!

And indeed they are different, because they aren't a breed but a different species altogether!

It looks like it could possibly be a drake. It is hard to tell for sure. As beautiful as it is, I would not want a Muscovy drake mating a Cayuga. Their mating is a bit different from the mallard derived breeds. The drakes take a really long time to mate and weigh so much. There is a possibility that he would drown her during mating. I only mention it, because I would hate for you to lose your Cayuga female. If it is a female, you don't need to worry about issues like that.
