    muscovy broodyness

    Hi, this is my first year keeping muscovy ducks and I have a trio of them. One of the females started laying eggs and I keep collecting them daily. If I keep takings eggs away, will she still go broody?

    It is constantly asked what is the 'best' meat bird, how to breed CX, what is the best heritage meat breed etc. I think we should create a sticky topic to answer all these questions.

    Wyandottes or Orpingtons as meat birds?

    Orpingtons are fine meat birds but I read that Australorps (Australian Utility Orpingtons) are much better tasting, they lay better than orps. as well. I have no idea on wyandottes but I really wonder how do they taste as well. White wyandottes looks very promising to me.
