The last egg started rocking and tapping so I candled it and can see a bill in the air cell.

Mom to 3 human children, 1 cat-Noel, foster Mom to nephew's rabbit-Biscuit and hopefully chickens and ducks again when situation improves.

I think Mallards, pekins, runners, covys, and sweddish blue are the cutest ducklings. Could a muscovy be free ranged?

I had asked the seller about that and they didn't think it was possible. They still claim they are pure muscovy, but they might have started developing before they were shipped. I don't see how that is possible with it being so cold.
