Miss Lydia,
I spent a while looking for a "red duck." Duh!

ooooooooooo!!!! You guys! Your Muscovies are so pretty...I have four...three black and white and a blue and white...I have eleven eggs in the 'bator and Esme is sitting on thirteen eggs...the Muscovies have become my favs. This is the first year I have ever had any of them and they have wormed their way into my heart big time...they are different from the others...I can't wait to see what colors I end up with this time...I don't know the colors behind the adults as they were adults when I got them...their first hatch produced, chocolate and white, blue and white, chocolate with white lacing, white with black tail feathers...

my first adults, Carlisle, Alice and Rose...Rose was taken by a predator...she is the dark one with the white head

pretty ducks, Mrs. Lydia!! If you ever get any eggs from that rare red one, I'm interested!

me too...I want some eggs from that one to hatch out...are they going to be expensive?

sad to update--I must not include the silver and blue pied among my muscovy hens. A few minutes ago, the guinea started chasing them and they quacked!!! Today is the first time I have heard them (only when being chased), and they have muscovy features, so I am assuming that means that they are some kind of a cross and therefore hybrid. So sad ... so so sad ... oh well, guess they'll produce our eating eggs then ...

I specifically asked the seller if they were pure muscovy and he said yes ... glad I didn't buy any more than the two because he had a pile of them.
