    Do all turkeys fly?

    I am looking to add turkeys to our "nano-farm" sometime soon. I have chickens, quail and muscovies already. I do not have a lot of land so they will be penned up for the most part except when I am working in my 60 x 120 foot garden which has a 20 foot privacy netting around it. It used to be...

    Problems with my Muscovy ducks

    I have 5 females and 1 male muscovy ducks. The male keeps injuring one of the females on the side of the face. I have kept them separated but if he gets the chance to get to her, he chases her down. He seems obsessed with her. Every time he gets in contact with her, he uses his bill to cut...

    Frustrated and Disappointed!!!!!!!!!!

    We hatched 10 chicks last summer and were given 12 more. So out of all those birds it looks as if we have 2 definite hens (started laying Jan 2) and 2 other possible hens (one is a silkie). I cannot count on the silkie laying enough to contribute so I am looking at 3 hens. I am just so...

    We just got home with our new Muscovies (hatched in September). Five females and 1 male....we think. As we were getting them out, one of them escaped. She was just wattling around so we continued to get the others settled. She is no where in sight now. Do you think she will come back? I am...

    Genetics and ducks

    I have been wondering.....it is okay to let egg-mates mate and produce offspring? Is there a problem with in-breeding? We want to get some Muscovies and want them to be able to breed and raise some babies. The kids would love it.
