Great thread, thank you for sharing. I'm trying to convince my husband to give these birds a try and your thread is very helpful.

key1969 thank you for your reply. I've heard that about the Calls. My Daughter really wants some and she convinced us by rolling them into her science project. Her project is titled Natural v. Artificial incubation, we have a Muscovy that has volunteered to be the "natural" incubator! The...

I've heard that the Call ducks haven't heard its nearly spring and most haven't started laying, how about runners? Anyone?

ricklo, I really like your little pond. What's on the bottom and how do you clean it?

I'm looking for Call duck hatching eggs ASAP, my daughter wants to hatch them out for a project at school and we have to set them by Thursday. Can anyone help?

RBahmer, there are many independent rescues that can help you out. Even Pit specific. I'll keep my ears and eyes open for a home. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/magazine/12/22/vick.dogs/ If anyone is interested, take a look. Pretty amazing what these dogs went through and then came...

super cute! good luck. Is he a pit? Did you read any of the wonderful stories about the Michael Vic dogs?

Old rebel, I'm sorry to hear about your babies. It's so hard to loose them. I just lost an adult to a fox in the middle of the day. Do you have a Vari kennel (the plastic dog crates)? When I had a mama that insisted on staying in the coop with the chickens I put her in one of those to...

if it was only one egg, my guess is that they moved their nest. None of my Muscovy ducks have sat on a nest with only 1 egg. They are very difficult to artificially incubate, out of 12 I had 3 hatch and 1 live and that was in an incubator. Mom is much more successful. out of 15 15 hatched and...

That's one bold little duckling. I was waiting for the terrier to decide it had had enough!

I've got to reduce my flock!! I had no idea Muscovy ducks were so prolific, last summer I went from 5 to 40!!! I've already processed 20 and need to unload a few more males and many females before I end up with hundreds! If anyone is interested in adult Muscovy drakes or hens let me know.

This happened to me last year with my first batch of Muscovies, I put them back under mom and they were amazingly fine, but it was one of my hens. She would go in there, then there would be a duck V. chicken fight, duck always won but the eggs were tossed out of the nest. It's amazing any of...

I have 3 males and 7 females for sale. Mostly black and whites but few blues and one male is all black. They are super friendly, never had a problem with any of them around my children. I will try to post photos once I take them! Just looking to reduce my flock.

Quote: yep. I have had that happen. I usually give the "paranoid" pullet another week and then its "suck it up- its a big world out here".. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sad tonight. My husband called to tell me that three of my muscovy babies out there with mama drowned in the waterer. How? Why...

Chickmate, I love your chicken coop. I have an opportunity to build my dream coop and I have no idea where to start. I'm thinking I may even hire someone, not that my hubby isn't full capable, but..... well it wouldn't look like yours! Did you have a plan?

We lost our shed Tuesday afternoon. The cord to the brooder shorted out and started the fire. My daughters three bantam chicks were in the brooder, she was so worried about them that she actually tried to run into the shed to save them while I was on the phone to 911. I clotheslined her in...

They could be laying anywhere. It took mine a few tries to settle on a spot. She is currently setting on a clutch of 14 in the nesting box of the bantam chickens coop. Go figure!?

Ahhh...babies. Can anyone resist them? They are definitely like potato chips, you can't just have one!

Should be right around the 20th of April. But I'm not thinking of it, I'm not going to keep track I'm letting Mama handle it!! I can't even think about it, really, well except for when I open the coop in the morning, close it at night and check on the chickens in the middle of the day. Other...

I'm so excited. My first Muscovy finally settled down on her clutch of 14 for good yesterday! I can't wait to have babies!
