Self Blue(?) Muscovy babies....

[Bleenie]

Our 1 self-blue pied hen has been brooding up until i took her eggs away, i caught her with a dead baby in the egg running across the yard.

I took the rest oif the eggs and put them i the bator and they all hatched. There is...
2 black pieds
1 chocolate
4 self Blues? pied

I have never had a Self Blue duckling, I adopted mom as a juvenile last November with some siblings. So my question is, ARE these babies Self Blues?

They're adorable!

While I have many muscovy, I don't know a thing about the color variations etc... But I just had to say.. OMG thats wayyyy too much cuteness on one page.

 

[lovesduckies]

does self blue mean all blue instead of blue pied?

 

[Bleenie]

Self Blue means that the feather is a solid, even pastel blue color...

here is a couple pictures of some self blue Muscovies..the only good ones i could find (I believe they belong to BYC'er cottage rose)
