I have a mama Muscovy sitting on eggs right now! Here in the humid south of South Carolina I haven’t had any problems, I let the hens take care of them.
Hello SCmommahen
Over by Clinton myself, we had a big variety like you have, the trouble makers were Rhode Island reds and white leghorns, the rest did fine together.
I’m down to the Americana rooster and 1 RR hen, she’s getting ready to head to freezer camp. We picked up 4 Silver Wyandot this...

Looking forward to trying these out!

my wife handles the inside part of the operation, she’s asleep or I would ask.
I’ll ask tomorrow and post it for you.
Howdy neighbor! (Clinton)
I didn’t seal all the joints myself, I used shipping crate boards and made it look like an old time building.
on the inside I mixed up whitewash and bought a cheap harbor freight sprayer and blasted everything with it.
It has done a great job keeping the bugs down.
I...
Deep mulch using straw or hay about 18” think to start.
I throw leaves, grass, yard weeds on top as it all naturally mulch’s itself. Weeds are few and far between which is unheard of here in the sunny upstate of South Carolina. The hay holds the moisture in the dirt even through our 90+ degree...
