Well it has been a while since I have been on here.
A week and a half ago my awesome neighbors gave me 6 Muscovy eggs, then 3 days later the guy showed up at my house and gave me 11 more. I candled them today and most of them are doing really well. Out of 17 eggs, 5 didn't develop right. I'm...
Honestly, I don't really anything about them.
I read that they are supposed to be more of a meat bird than an egg layer although it is listed as a dual purpose bird. Also I heard that they are supposed to lay large eggs.
These are the chicks I hatched.
Surprisingly, most of them were black with yellow on them.
^ This is the little guy that died. He couldn't walk right and he wasn't eating, but at least he is not suffering anymore.
Since it has been forever since I posted anything on here, I thought I would show my new baby chicks.
About 2 and a half weeks ago, I bought 8 Ameraucana and 4 Dixie Rainbow chicks from TSC.
Also 1 week ago I had some of my baby chicks hatch and then the rest hatched a few days ago. All together...
It is SO cute! :) I had 6 Pekin ducks two years ago, but sadly I had to get rid of them. I now have a goose and I am hopefully getting another one soon.
