What gender/colors will my muscovies get?

[libarena]

I’m new to owning muscovy ducks and recently got four of them and am curious to know if they are boys/girls and what color you think they’ll end up being?

Welcome to BYC! @learycow knows a lot about Muscovy colors. Hopefully, they will comment.

The third pic one looks like it’s going to be a barred.
That almost ‘wild’ looking Muscovy duckling may be a chocolate or black.
And from the look the other two yellow ones could be barred (not sure about colour)

Left in this picture is barred, but I can't tell if it's black or another color. To it's right is a chocolate.

Here’s a few examples of what they may look like when they mature (pics from the internet):
Barred


Chocolate

You have three drakes and one hen.
One on left in first pic is a barred drake. One to the right of him looks just like my white bibbed/white pied dark chocolate muscovies and is a drake. The smallest yellow one looks like a lilac or silver; she’s a hen. The one standing closest to the guineas appears to be a fawn drake, which is a light brown variation. These are mainly guesses it will be easier to determine color when they have more adult feathers. Beautiful muscovies!

Agreed. His feathering will change even more than the average barred Muscovy. His little white bib gives it away.
