What color are my 'scovies?

[orumpoultry]

Pretty sure I have two drakelets ( if I have that right ) and one duck.

White duck - black and white / wild colored?








Noticeable size difference makes me think the two black and yellows ( wild colors? ) are males...


Also, any guesses on age? I'm thinking two weeks?

Size 10 womens shoe for reference, lol.

They are definitely older than 2 weeks! I have some right now that are 2 weeks old and they are half that size! My guess would be 4-5 weeks since they are large and it looks like they are starting to get their feathers in.
You have one white and two black pied.
It's hard to tell in the pics, but you will be able to notice a size difference pretty soon. Look at their necks and legs. The males will start to get fatter legs and necks. And as they grow, the males will be noticeably larger in size.

I've never owned muscovies before, I've always had Pekin, Cayuga, and Rouen! Although my spelling is horrible on the breeds, haha. They weigh about a pound a piece right now, and are starting to get feathers in their bellies. I have to hold them with two hands when I do daily checks, so they're pretty big... To me, if I didn't think about the size difference in breeds, I would compare their size to that of a six week old Pekin or Rouen...

I have Muscovy and i am thinking maybe 5 weeks? they sure are pretty. are they pets or table? If you've never had Muscovy before your in for a treat. They make me think of doggies with feathers. Friendly, wag their tails.

These are going to be for pets, but all offspring will be for meat. We're going to pick up about 20 or so more, there's supposed to be a pair of blues and a barred in the group we're going to get. They're all around the same age, just have to bring the net and pens!
