Broody Muscovy ducks???

[Hoover67]

Well, her babies started to arrive this morning. I do not know if they are all going to hatch but I have 13 babies ... as best as I can tell! The other four female Muscovies are sitting too! I do not know what I will do with all of these ducklings. I need some pullets so maybe I can sell some of perhaps trade for pullets.

They are soooooo cute! I cannot wait until they are running around. The next female's eggs should be hatching in a week or so.

How long should I wait to sell/trade them? How old should they be?

Thanks!

PICTURES!!! All I know is that they males grow alot faster than the females. You can sell them from day one.

Sweet babies!

You have some Duclair Pieds in there, it seems; a lovely color pattern.

Those are the ones with the colored cap, middle of back and tail, with yellow face, neck, wings, and underparts.

Also known as Magpie pattern among other names. They will be very lovely as adults..............

Not a single Muscovy at the Berlin, VT swap today! Very few buyers over all, poor sales reported by many. Wish feed prices would go back to normal.
