What color are these Muscovies?

[ccmarie]

I get to pick out two or three of these little guys next week! The breeder says that the father is "blue (grey)" and the mother is either white with blue eyes, or black and white. I only have these tiny pictures so I'm not sure if you can tell anything, but I thought it would be worth asking.

I forgot to add, they're about four-five weeks old.

I think you should take them all to be sure, lol.. It is hard to tell till they feather more and you can get a closer picture.

I agree take them all. and it really is un believable how much they change in the matter of weeks.

We've only got room for two or three, and I don't think my hubby would approve spending that much...maybe I could convince him that we could raise them and sell the adults for more, but I don't know what the market's like here (we're going to drive about four hours to pick them up).

Then I''d say just give it your best shot, because what they look like now they won't look like it in 2-3 weeks. except all yellow will be all white with blue eyes
