Closest thing I have to a crested muscovy is a crested muscovy mix, which was a big surprise but she's very pretty...she's from my crested mallard and a muscovy drake...
My new quail chillin in the bedroom while I build their pen outside. They are from MyShire according to the guy I bought them from. He bought a crap ton of hatching eggs and sold the ones that were colors that he didn't want
the only critters around here that i have seen are possums and stray dogs...and we deter them by having my dogs kennel set up in the the birds yard.....her insistent and annoying yapping at the slightest noise seems to keep most predators away...we also have cats that hang out with the birds as...
I know the feeling Blue is my favorite color in all kinds of backyard birds...and i love watching them on my yard chasing flies and running for treats. and they are great mothers too!!
thats not too far from me....i have lots of muscovys. my boys are blue-fawn and blue my girls are chocolate, blue, white and varying degrees of black and white...and 21 ducklings currently .
sounds like a slipped tendon, I don't know how to fix it tho. I have a duck who hatched with that problem and nothing i tried worked.he happiliy hobbles his ducky butt around the pen now , and i kept his stuck out leg in a sling while he was younger and he learned to hop on the other one.
