    We have one that we got from Gary Bott. Maybe he still has some.

    We're down to the two Muscovys that are staying here. All the others, parents included, have found homes in ponds and bathtubs all over the upstate.

    We have some Muscovys, hatched May 5. You won't find a less vocal duck than a Muscovy.

    Seems to me that they just know, and they enjoy it immensely. Always playing follow the leader, from eating to drinking to swimming, where one goes the others go right along with the idea.

    Girlfriend my eye, it's a full fledged,consummated, marriage.

    South Carolina

    We've got Ms Ann introduced to Andy and the rest of the clan. All signs point to our having start-to-finish homegrown balls of yellow fluff, so that will take care of that. She seems to feel right at home already, but still exploring. When I came in she was going from clover to whatever weeds...

    Do you remember the Doritos ad, "Crunch all you want, we'll make more"? We're on the way to see Amy at West Knoll Farms, as Greg suggested, to get a Pekin duck for our Pekin drake. Hopefully this will give new direction for some duck testosterone out in our back yard. Pretty sure this will...

    Ms. Ethel (Muscovy duck) decided on Easter (March 31) that it was time to sit tight on 22 eggs. Here it is 5 weeks later, right on time, and there's already a nest full of babies, with more yet to hatch. They're coming along nicely, and tomorrow we'll know what how successfully she's cared for...

    Looks like we're going to be overrun with Muscovy ducklings about Cinco de Mayo. Would love to trade some for almost any large fowl breed (chicks, pullets, or laying hens) with a reputation for going broody. Ethel laid an egg a day for 22 days, all the while being terrorized :barnie by Fred...

    Oh, the adventures have begun! and thanks for the welcome.

    I'm interested in a couple ( or few) of both those RIR's and BO's. Seems to me that a good broody BO to go along with with some RIR egg machines is a match made in Chicken Heaven. I'm about 2 miles off highway 215 in Roebuck, so gas down there and back would be cheaper than postage on mail...

    Thanks for the replies. Sure am glad we didn't try to introduce chicks to the flock. Will just let the hens do what comes naturally, and get new chicks the old fashion way. That said, I have a strong suspicion this chicken interest will only grow, and the temptation to get more involved will...

    I've asked each of my 6 hens, and they answered, but a lot (every word and thought) was lost in the translation. The question posed was: "Will you raise some chicks if they just show up here in the coop?" Don't even know for sure what breeds these ladies are, but pretty sure they're hatchery...

    I reckon it's time to speak up and stop lurking. Been watching the antics on this thread for a few weeks and already feel as if I know some of you. 'Bout me: until just a few months ago there wasn't a feather on the place other than what the songbirds drop. A friend had some Pekin drakes...
