Cocoa one of my Muscovy Hens didn't come to the yard for supper, I went to the pond and found her sitting under the shade of a tree with a swollen face and weezing. Bit of blood by her nares and diluted blood lightly dripping ..no blood in her mouth, tongue is clean, airway looks ok from what I...
Bleenie is my most broody Girl...she is four years old and this is her 5th hatching (I've broken her from being broody 3 times in the four years as well LOL) Hope you can view the video.

My Cousin lives in Bolton, Ontario. For two days this pair have been outside the bowling alley. The Gander is dead and his mate has stayed by his side. I'm in Arkansas and need help getting a number for my cousin to call.

My cousin lives in Bolton, Ontario and for the past two days there has been a dead Gander outside the bowling alley. His mate has been staying at his side. Does anyone have a phone number for Wildlife Rescue in the area or any for Ontario, Canada so she can call?

This Muscovy Hen of mine is worth her weight in gold. She's been a super Mom when ever she's hatched babies out, and she's hatched 4 times already. She's 2 yrs old and she's my lap duck LOL When her eggs quit developing she tossed them out of the nest then decided to adopt the 8 week old...
Bleenie has been on a nest of eggs for a month, during that time I've had 4 scovie ducklings in the pen as well. Bleenie and nest in one duck house, the ducklings in the other duck house. Well 4 of her eggs were rotten and she tossed them out for me, sadly 3 days ago she abandoned the other 4...
Their Mamma is Scrappy, she's my 3 yr old Pekin that I hatched in the house and hand raised her first 6 months, their Daddy is Shadow, my 20 month old Muscovy Drake who vanished 2 months ago :-( Here are some photos of the darlings. It's funny, they are 7 months old and they still stick real...
I used to scrapbook a lot, now just special photos. I still make cards, altered multi media canvases and tags. My favorite brands are Tim Holtz, Ranger, Prima, Spellbinders and Sizzix. Right now I'm working on my Christmas Cards (I'm a bit behind this year LOL).
Friday my favorite online...
When my grown Turkey's poults grew up we gave them to friends, they in turn gave us 3 of their eggs when the hen started laying. I hatched the 3 in the house and kept 2, gave the third baby back to the friends that gave me the eggs. I do believe I have a little hen and a little Tom. This is...
This little scovy Gal's neck wasn't like until almost 2 weeks ago. I thought she might have swallowed a mouse or frog at first but it has stayed the same. She eats, runs, swims, plays, poops just fine..shows no signs of distress or pain at all. the bulge is causing her to hold her neck/head to...
This large swelling just showed up yesterday. She's eating, drinking, running, playing ,swimming no problem. I have never seen this happen. At first I thought she may have caught and eaten a mouse but the lump is still there today. Any ideas?

My Muscovy Hen is on her nest in the duckhouse (day 33). She prefers to come out for a quick bite to eat and a splash in the pool or pond in the evening just before dusk. Night before last I went out right at dark to shut and lock the duckhouses and a skunk came out of the one Willow is in. It...
My Mallard Hen has been on her nest of eggs for 33 days as of today and I'm getting excited about seeing the babies. Does anyone have any Mallard/Muscovy mix photos to share?
Michelle (who's also waiting on Willow the Muscovy Hen's nest to start hatching out any day)
We have 6 strong beautiful ducklings so far. Another baby died in the shell overnight, it was badly shrinkwrapped. And another was about to end up the same way so it's in here with me in the incubator and it's tired as all get out but chirping lightly.
Here are some new photos:
and the...
Well yesterday was day 35. I just went out to check the nest since Bleenie had come off of it for a drink, found one dead duckling under all of the eggs and 3 eggs pipped. One of the pipped eggs has an adorable duckling bill sticking out of it. I'm SO tempted to start up the bator in case there...
Last time Bleenie went broody she sat on that nest for 41 days with no results...not sure what happened. I know my drake is topping all of the girls quite frequently however when she last went broody we still had temps in the 100's. Well she is now on day two of full out broodiness. She's so...
Bleenie duck is officially broody, she's on a big nest of eggs, most Muscovy, some Muscovy/Pekin. She's been on her nest for a steady 5 days/nights, is doing the squeek thing at me and the other ducks and all ruffled up. This morning she came out for a bit to eat and drink and I see her...
She's just a baby hatching machine LOL She's on her third nest since April! My only Drakes are Muscovey so she's gonna produce a bunch of mules but that's ok too , she is such a wonderful little Mamma!
