    Processor in RI

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for a place to get some of my muscovy ducks processed in the RI area as Spring has sprung, as far as the drakes are concerned, and I have too many drakes, so off to Camp Maytag they go. Any suggestions? Thanks! Mike

    1st part done!

    Well, I finally got the brooder built and also got 4 4-day old Muscovy's! One was particularly vocal looking for mom but eventually settled down when they discovered the food and water. The pics were taken with my phone so sorry for the quality.

    Hello from RI!

    Hello everyone! We're just getting started with ducks and will be getting some Welsh Harlequin ducklings as soon as I finish their brooder as well as the duck run/house. We have 2 acres and will be letting them free range while were home. Look forward to talking with everyone!
