I fill a dish with oyster shell, they get chicken layer feed, scratch grains, plenty of fresh veggies each day as a treat, occasionally meal worms and corn.
I have a female muscovy who has had a sudden obsession with eggs. She knows when im going out to check for them. She doesn't try to sit on them though. She tries to stab them and eat them. Could she have gotten a taste of a broken egg and is now ruined? Help
All I know is I did not get any silkies (not a fan). I have 10 new chicks now. I think some may be the silver duckling bantam breed but not 100%. Any ideas?
I had an egg hatch earlier than expected...didn't realize I put a mule egg amongst my muscovy eggs...no siblings yet and I haven't bought any food and won't be able to for a few days. What can I give it thats good for it until I get feed? If nothing then ill have to see if some friends can help...

I'm not sure of an exact date. I do know it was around February or March. At first we had over 10 females. Now we are down to 4 so its easier to tell whose egg is who
My saxony female has been acting off lately. I'm pretty sure she laid a massive egg 2 days ago then nothing and now this... is she ok? Is there something I can do to help her? They get 18% layer feed, a fresh bowl of oyster shell, plenty to forage and treats every so often.
