A drake would be great. My girl is a white. I have an acre pond for them to play on (though I find the muscovies enjoy roaming with the chickens a lot more than the other ducks). Only thing would be finding a day to get up to you. You're a good two hours from here...
Anybody have any extra muscovies? I lost a setting female to a coons, and so now my other one is lonely on the pond, as the pekins have nothing to do with her.
I'm in Hillsdale county.

Man, you're literally a day late. Sold that Sumatran for $30 yesterday. He was bullying my polish rooster.
I'm in south-central Michigan. I need some yokohama hens for these guys!
I'd love to get some hens, but to be honest, the boys have some black going through their tails, so I don't really know what the point in breeding them would be. There are many more shown here, such as yours, which are much more promising/well-bred. Maybe at some point in the future I'll be...

Chickens won't eat unbroken eggs, but if one happens to break, all chickens recognize it as a tasty treat. You really don't need to bake them if you think they're gonna pick up a taste for eggs - they already have one. Learned this from a guy who worked on commercial "free-range" farm.
