    Comment by 'Connie White' in item 'Pekin'

    I raise Muscovy - love them! Pekins are on sale right now - I've had two in the past and didn't really enjoy them. They were so **** messy. Muscovy don't tear up the yard, they don't crap in every water container around, and they are excellent foragers. The meat is very good too. I was glad to...

    Ideal Hatchery

    That's a nice growth rate on the Red Ranger but that chick doesn't look half as nice as the ones that I got from Cackle - they were very nice. I'm even more impressed with the white heritage breed that I got from http://www.sandgpoultry.com/ but the Black Broilers that I got from Ideal do not...

    Does anyone have a 100% method of hatching out Muscovy Duck eggs artificially?

    Hey GoinQuakers - I do use my gals - have three sitting on over a dozen each at the moment, but there are people who want to hatch out their own. Mine lay so many eggs that I wanted to try the incubator because I couldn't safely have the gals hatch out anymore. I have two people who, at...

    Does anyone have a 100% method of hatching out Muscovy Duck eggs artificially?

    Hello Friends - There are three groups of us trying to hatch out Muscovy duck eggs - the eggs are fertile but never make it all the way. Does anyone have a method that works? This must be for Muscovy's as the other ducks (Mallards and such) are different and don't count. I hope so! Any and...

    Black Cochin Bantams - Hatching eggs and the Rooster

    I have 3 hens and one rooster. They are in a fairly good sized pen together. Two of the gals got broody and are hatching out a mess of chicks - both theirs and others. This group does NOT like to be separated! Once the chicks hatch - should I remove the rooster?
