I would like to have a few Muscovy hens that walk around the yard, graze eat bugs, lay eggs. I would also like to keep a drake, but I understand they can be rough on the hens and nasty with people. Not interested in that. Would it be possible to free range the hens, and pen the drake separately and put him in with the hens every couple of evenings when I want fertile eggs?
OR, because the drake is twice the size of the hens, build a drake pen in the middle of the hen pen that has an opening that the hens can go in and out but the drake can't.
Has anyone done anything like this? or would i be better off to have khaki Cambells?
