    Very confused over Muscovy girl

    I have noticed she never had red caruncles either but my other have bright red or black. I do worry she anemic but she got the same diet as the others.

    Very confused over Muscovy girl

    She has calmed down with excessive laying and just giving 1 a day now. She got a nesting box in the garage alone as she was my only girl and didn't want my boys to ambush her. Got a few more girls now but got them in quarantine. That's Nutmeg in her nesting box.

    Very confused over Muscovy girl

    She got the extra calcium and protein but she seems happy and is following me around and being very clingy. She only had 1 very large egg today, so since Christmas day (25th) I got a total of 8 eggs from her now.

    Very confused over Muscovy girl

    When do muscovies start to first lay

    They are silly little creatures at times I swear but they are adorable. Can't actually imagine a day without them anymore, i get happy just seeing them and they only get happy when there's food 😅

    I don't think it's a muscovy thing because i got a mallard with them that does the same but yeah mine are weird. I tried to put them out with rain and they just run back in, so I gave up trying 😅

    Yeah mine do go outside but its starts getting dark here at like 4pm and it's been very cold with heavy rain so they just stay in their shed with the door open but they don't want to go out in it.

    so she could start soon then but I do wonder if the very cold weather here is putting a delay on it?

    Oh that's good to know, I know my boy has tried to mount her but he's a little silly and doesn't understand how 😅 he ends up just humping half way up her back. Makes me wonder if mine are abit dumb.

    When do muscovies start to first lay

    I have a girl that was hatched 25th March 2023 and I was wondering when should she start laying eggs? I read that some start at 6months old but she hasn't even started yet. Getting a little worried something might be wrong if she should already be laying eggs by now.

    I have noticed there is more drakes than girls being hatched which is so strange. Its been super hard to find more muscovy girls. Aww you got pictures of them?
