    Yes, Serio's in Bossier and Paul's in Shreveport are probably good sources.

    "Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

    Easier to get forgiveness than permission, especially if you have good fences. Don't get a roo and they won't bother anyone. I live out in the country, so don't have to worry. dozen Black australorps, couple buff orp's, couple Aracauna, Brown Leghorn roo, few Muscovies, etc.

    Galvanized Water Can...HELP!

    I recommend switching to a galvanized trough or rectangular bucket with a cheap float valve and a water hose. I switched to them a year ago and never have problems anymore. I got small enough ones they are easy to dump out every day for cleanliness.

    FREE Plymouth Rock, Ark-LA-Tex

    I have a Plymouth Rock hen that goes broody often and I don't want to raise babies. Anyone interested? Either free or a trade for a pullet.

    Pekin/Muscovy hybrids

    Quote: What do they look like now? Are there obvious differences between these and pure Muscovies? What traits show up first in the babies?

    Free Range Breeds?

    My muscovies do well freeranging, and forage a lot. They are known for being good foragers. I have Pekins that forage very little and stay close to the pens. It might be different if you have a pond. My hen Muscovies fly well, but the drake is too big to fly. You could try to get small ones if...

    Pekin/Muscovy hybrids

    I have three Muscovy hens on nests. I have one Pekin drake and one muscovy drake. I never dreamed when I got a pair of Pekins that the drake would be so aggressive! He pesters my muscovy hens to death every time he sees them and breeds them a lot. the muscovy is not nearly as aggressive nor...

    Advice on controlling duck population

    I have finally gotten predators under control, now all my hens have found a safe spot to lay and are trying raise babies. I am worried I will go from 4 hens to 50 quickly. My muscovies are the ones who are nesting and found places I couldn't collect every day. They had a whole pile of eggs...

    Humidity in a styrofoam still air incubator

    I feel for you. I just lost most of my batch of duck eggs. They were due to hatch yesterday, and the only activity I had was on Friday one pipped most of the way around one end, quit, and died. My hen that was sitting on a dozen chicken eggs has twice left her eggs and moved to a different...

    Do you free range your ducks? Why or Why not?

    I freerange and muscovies can fly so they occasionally get broody and disappear outside the protected area. I am missing two right now and am afraid they nested too far from home. That's a risk you take when you freerange. My pekins never get more than 50 feet from their pen.

    will Muscovy's and Rouens interbreed?

    Muscovies are known as Tree ducks. They do not require ponds. Mine stay on the ground most of the time, but have perched on top of buildings a lot, as opposed to the trees. My muscovy drake has always been too slow to mate with my other breeds of hens much, but the pekins and others always chase...

    Candling duck eggs

    We are at about day 14 or 15 (Muscovy). I have tried candling the eggs and all but one are very dark with a light circle at one end (air pocket?). Is this what I am supposed to see? I am assuming from what I have read that maybe the one was not fertile? I have one white Muscovy hen, two...

    question about color of duck eggs

    Hello, i kn we have some Muscovy breeders out there. Are all eggs the same color, regardless of color of the bird? What about pekin eggs, all white also?

    question about color of duck eggs

    Interesting. I had not thought about the possibility a different drake got to my 'scovies. That big Muscovy drake of mine is so big and dominant I figured he had them, but he is slow also. Anyone else have a thought?

    question about color of duck eggs

    Do all of muscovies color phases have the same color of egg? I am getting several of what I call the off-white eggs. I am also getting some eggs that are closer to a chicken egg in size and green. I am trying to decide if I have a chicken laying in the duck nest, or if one of ducks lays green...
