    Soooo I made a Muscovy cake

    Thanks y’all! Thank you! 😁 Right?!? It drives me crazy. On paper, it’s a great breakfast solution but my kids are absolutely revolted by them! I just saw a huge new display of them at the store today, and it made me want to do a stake out to see who is buying them. Thanks! It’s just a...

    Soooo I made a Muscovy cake

    My father’s birthday was this week, and he always gets a kick out of the crazy cakes I make for my kids, so I decided to make him a crazy cake too. He looooves his duck flock, so it just had to be a Muscovy. He loved it (“Ooooo! You made caruncles!”🤣) It’s all homemade buttercream and the beak...

    Assisting a hatching Muscovy- what next? (Video)

    When I checked on it mid afternoon, I thought it looked like it’s legs were malpositioned- it looked like they were stretched out over its head. Just a few minutes ago, I went to look again and see if I could get a picture of the legs... but it had hatched! Poor thing looks absolutely exhausted.

    Assisting a hatching Muscovy- what next? (Video)

    This guy pipped more than a day ago. This morning I candled it and had to watch for a realllllly long time to see any movement and when it did move it was pretty feeble. I no longer saw any sign of it in the air cell. I widened the pip hole (maybe too much?) and applied coconut oil. I just...

    Underdeveloped Muscovy egg day 32- lockdown?

    Thank you! The hatcher only has one other egg in there, so I guess I’ll just keep a close on him and put up a barrier if I need to.

    Underdeveloped Muscovy egg day 32- lockdown?

    I have a staggered group of Muscovy eggs in an incubator (I have a separate lockdown incubator running too). Temps have been 99-100 and humidity has been 35-45%. I’ve been chilling/misting since day 10. One has already hatched successfully. This egg is on day 33 and has always been...

    Tractor Supply ducklings- guesses?

    I hatched out a Muscovy in the incubator last week and, since I’m an absolute newbie in the ways of hatchings, it is a staggered hatch and the next egg isn’t due to hatch for quite some time if any more hatch at all. “Strawberry” needed a friend so we picked up two ducklings from Tractor...

    New to chickens- bachelor coop? Thunderdome???

    Thanks again- It’s 5’8” x 4’ I was definitely planning on predator proofing any fencing. Lots of great horned owls, foxes, mink, etc. There’s even a nesting pair of Bald Eagles in the trees in the background of the pic but they’ve never bothered our ducks or cats. I was raised here but just...

    New to chickens- bachelor coop? Thunderdome???

    Thank you! As far as room, I guess I’m just worried/confused about what they’d need as far as interior space and I’m trying to avoid building a whole new coop. I’m thinking about taking this old dog house, maybe raising it on posts, and fencing in the area around it. Would that work or would...

    New to chickens- bachelor coop? Thunderdome???

    Hey there! Back in April my Dad decided he wanted some chickens for eggs. He built a nice coop and my kids and I volunteered to raise some chicks for him. We got 6 RIRs from tractor supply and they’re around 13 weeks old now. Looks like they’re all roosters. I’ve been in denial about it...

    Muscovy eggs at different stages in the same incubator- what to do at lockdown?

    Thank you so much! I’m currently shopping for an additional incubator😁 I have lots of experience hatching reptile eggs and zero avian egg experience, so when my kids found the abandoned eggs by the pond and I said “sure!”, I had no clue what I was getting into🤣 Snakes and turtles are...

    Muscovy eggs at different stages in the same incubator- what to do at lockdown?

    Hello! I’m brand new to this! My kids and I just moved to the family farm and are attempting to incubate Muscovy eggs from my dad’s small flock. It was a spur of the moment decision and now it has become an obsession. I purchased a 12 egg hhd incubator and took out the auto turn tray to...
