I've had my scovies for 2 yrs now and the only time they didn't lay was when in a molt or broody.

My Pekin was on a nest of eggs, 2 hatched on day 28 so I'm assuming they are her's...the other 4 hatched out on day 35 so I'm guessing the scovy gals had them hidden in her nest.  I have to admit the Pekin/Scovy cross 2 are as cute as the pure scovies.

Isn't a pekin/ muscovy cross called a mulard or something? i think people raise those for meat-- they are really cool-looking!

It's usually referred to as a Mule Duck. Unless the Scovy was the Drake then it's a Hinny

Mallards actually hybridize with lots of closely related species. Mallard Drakes have no preferences lau.gif
