Buck all your babies are beautiful older ones and these. Do you keep all the ducklings you hatch?

Buck, your ducks are all so pretty! Will my purebreed ducks just make more of themselves or is there a chance I can get something like yours? In your experience, what age do they start laying eggs? Also, mine live with the chickens, so do they need a special nest area or anything?

Your muscovies are very rare, they look so much like the wild muscovies in South America that yours look high show quality, and yes they will probably make what they look like, it may help if you look up wild muscovy ducks. Mine dig holes in the ground and lay there eggs and sit on them, so thy pretty kuch make there own nest but they will venture to wierd places to lay eggs

awesome! I hope they start to lay soon, they are around 20 weeks.

 

[Buck Oakes]

Ohh yeah they should mine started laying at 5 months

Me either that's why none of mine were allowed to hatch this year I have to be careful I can house and feed them all.

Yeah I had twenty four babies this year maybe one or two more coming, but I did lose one of them that was hatched in February and I miss her :'(
