Well they were going to slaughter them, but never got around to it and after a while the ag teacher got attached and decided they needed a better home so he gave them to me. Also they tried to breed with my leghorns but they were too slow to catch up to them.

Sorry new to the picture attachments on this site.

Here's one taking a drink. We named him Pickle.

Both are male and I don't have any pools they could climb into but I do set out a few buckets

Ok ill try. They really came far considering they came from a school I'm sure the kids harrased them there and they were kept in a screened shed with gravel instead of grass. So I'm sure they are aware that I'm not trying to harm them, and they made friends with the rooster. However another...

Yeah 6 or 7 years

I have a pair of male muskovy ducks that I got a few months back and as much as I try they don't seem to trust me. I give them treats every once in a while and when I try to feed them by hand they try to bite my hand off! They aren't trying to be mean and I don't retaliate but they do this...

Well she pooped in the nest. It was runny and luckily she pooped in the direction away from the eggs so I was able to clean it up.

So my broody is hatching eggs and I was going to take her to poop yesterday but I saw a pip so I left her be. Now she has 2 chicks but I want to know if its dangerous that she hasn't pooped.

Mine are hatching now.

Also I have 10 eggs in incubator that will hatch a week before hers if any problems should occur can i put the eggs in the incubator?

Yes she's sitting on eggs and I would say she's about day 5 today. She growled at a hen while it was laying eggs in the next box so at least she's alert and I have 2 roosters so the eggs are fertile. That's her in my profile picture.

I have recently had one of my tiny hens go broody, which I am fine with, but it seems like today and yesterday she was in like a trance. She doesn't want to eat or drink and strangely doesn't react when I touch her. Help!

Well it doesn't look like my rooster is trying to kill the new one just making him keep his distance.
