My Muscovies at 12 weeks, interested in hearing from other Muscovy folks what they think the colors might be?

I am not into what color a Muscovy will be but @learycow is

Wow such beautiful scovies

It looks to me what I'd call two blues and two chocolates. In fact, the 'chocolates' look very similar to what my girl Aspen is (my profile pic) and I've heard her color called lots of different names. The breeder we got her from called her fawn, I've seen someone say buff, blue fawn, and chocolate.

I guess it'd be June and Johnny are the blues, and the other two are 'chocolate'. That's what I call mine. In my experience the color they feather in as is the color they'll stay. The chocolates/buffs/blue fawns may sun bleach as mine has. Not sure if that's what you're asking about...

I see 2 blue pied and 2 lilac. All will have white heads also

Those are lilac, a combination of blue and chocolate. True chocolates won't have blue tones

I didn't know that, thank you for letting me know.

Thank you for the kind response. It’s not a big deal, just a first time duck keeper parlor game. I’m thrilled with whatever they become, just love talking to folks about them.

Thank you. I love the shades of blue and chocolate together. Gives an opalescent look. I have to admit, I love my chickens but these ducks have stolen my heart.
