Does anyone know where I can get some Muscovies in East Texas???

I recently received chicks from Ideal that I decided to go ahead and vaccinate for Marek's disease. I was not thinking about my existing flock and I was wondering if it is safe to combine the two. What are your experiences?

24,801 + 31 = 24,832

Any more NN fans out there?

Here is one of my NN from Ideal. They are really good hearty birds, heavy and solid. I keep thinking if they don't stay in line they might end up on the dinner table! LOL

Quote: That sounds kinda deceptive. It's a good thing that Ideal has been so good to me otherwise I might never order from them again! :-)

hmmmm??? I wonder why they have them listed under the tinted eggs???

Has anyone ordered NN from Ideal and if you have, do you get colored eggs from them? That's what they post on their site and mine have not started to lay yet. I was wondering if anyone out there is getting tinted eggs from their NN????

Quote: She probably didnt' miss a day. I have an INCREDIBLE RIR layer who missed 2 days out of 95 days!!!! She is now slowing down since the cold weather and is only giving me 4 eggs a week. I don't scold her, though, because she did such a great job!!! :-) (wish the others would take her...

Quote: I didn't taste it by itself. I included it with the dozen I scrambled up for burritos this morning for breakfast. They were great eggs! :-)

Quote: They main ones are Easter Eggers & Ameraucanas but I think just about any breed can lay certain tinted eggs. Ideal lists Naked Necks, Faverolles, Dorkings & Red Jungle Fowl as tinted egg layers, too. I ordered Naked Necks with the expectation of getting tinted eggs...I'll keep...

5/15 :-( Many of mine are still not laying...figure they will start in the Spring.

I have 6 EE right now that are 5 days old. I wanted more tinted eggs in the future. I purchased the NN from Ideal because they said that theirs laid tinted eggs. I will keep everyone posted if they do.

After 7 months of waiting, I was thrilled to find my FIRST tinted egg! Why is it that such a small thing can derive so much pleasure??? Only my fellow chicken lover's out there will understand such a treasure. Just had to share...
