Thanks everyone! I guess I WILL be waiting until spring for a ducky egg.. this double yolk-er will be delicious tomorrow morning before work with my coffee.

I went out to gather my eggs this morning and ran across this monster. It's the biggest egg I have ever seen.. and much larger than any egg any of my hens have laid. I have 3 Muscovy females that were hatched on Jul 31st.. and they share a run with my chickens. They also have access to the...

update: Just wanted to say thanks to mysticalmom and snakeman for letting me come down and leave with some of their beautiful scovies. Snakeman said they were going to freezer camp but MM was all smiles when we left.. I sensed a bit of relief from her! They have settled in nicely today an have...

So sorry to hear.. I lost all 3 of mine this last week to a fox or coon. But I always tell everyone, the only way to help get over a lost pet is to get another! So, I'm going to pick up some more tonight.. from some fine folks here on this forum. Best of luck to you going forward with the rest...

Snakeman and MM.. you guys are awesome. PM on its way!!! @sweetcheaks- I have a chainlink run. On the interior from the ground up is a 30" lining of chicken wire. On the outside is chicken wire 12" high and buried that extends about 30" outward from the pen. I also have 2 strands of electrical...

I have tried.. no such luck because it is late in the year. I have a few emails out that I hope to hear back from. Thanks!

Hi all.. I'm wondering if someone can point me in the right to direction to a good hatchery for Muscovy Ducks. If not, are there some fine folks here that breed and ship? We just suffered a loss this last weekend with some of my chickens and all of my ducks. I lost one of my muscovy and the...

Good point Katharainad.. if I can't find some young 5-6 month old muscovys I will wait until spring. I was going to keep a heat lamp in their house regardless, but I don't want to risk anything again with any young ducks. @pascopol- I thought about getting some traps.. but with my kind of luck...

Thanks all.. it has been a terrible day. It's one thing to slaughter an animal that has been raised for meat, but these were my pets. They just ate out of my hand yesterday for the first time. I feel just terrible. Any recommendations on where I can order more? I would love a couple of good...

Had a rough day today.. a coon or fox found a weak spot in my pen, dug under and got 2 of my chickens, 1 of my ducks and mangled my other two ducks pretty bad. I had 2 female Muscovys and 1 Drake. The drake was left and had a broken wing, a large laceration under his wing deep into the meat and...

I too am raising Muscovy for meat. Mine are only ducklings though, so it will be into next summer before I have to start thinking about this. However, I do have a young roo that was supposed to be a hen. I have been trying for a while to find him a home, but no such luck yet. My neighbors have...

Quote: This typical for any state/gov run agency. Slow is the name of the game.. and don't worry about them withholding information or not being informative. You have to pry it out of them. They spend most of their day complaining about their job and how they are under paid. wait till they...

Federal AND state law require that a court ordered child support amount be paid. All states will work with each other to uphold this. Here is a resource for you that may help.. http://www.supportcollectors.com/resources_kansas.php Kansas Child Support Enforcement Resource Center * Kansas...

Quote: I was just browsing and ran across this and wanted to throw in my 2 cents. I just went through a divorce and my fiance is now going through a similar situation trying to get child support fixed from the father in a different state (who is uncooperative). You have made the right steps...

I'm in Crownsville.. just outside of Annapolis. I have a young black australorp roo (which I thought was a hen) that needs a home! Anyone interested? I'm also looking for a young hen or two to take his place! Trade? Nice to meet everyone!
