Well it has been a while since I have been on here.
A week and a half ago my awesome neighbors gave me 6 Muscovy eggs, then 3 days later the guy showed up at my house and gave me 11 more. I candled them today and most of them are doing really well. Out of 17 eggs, 5 didn't develop right. I'm...
Honestly, I don't really anything about them.
I read that they are supposed to be more of a meat bird than an egg layer although it is listed as a dual purpose bird. Also I heard that they are supposed to lay large eggs.
These are the chicks I hatched.
Surprisingly, most of them were black with yellow on them.
^ This is the little guy that died. He couldn't walk right and he wasn't eating, but at least he is not suffering anymore.
Since it has been forever since I posted anything on here, I thought I would show my new baby chicks.
About 2 and a half weeks ago, I bought 8 Ameraucana and 4 Dixie Rainbow chicks from TSC.
Also 1 week ago I had some of my baby chicks hatch and then the rest hatched a few days ago. All together...
:) I haven't hatched in over a year and a half, so I wanted make sure I got it right before I tried to hatch a bunch. Plus I am going to buy some chicks from TSC.
Would you be willing to share?
I need some more!
Thanks :)
I only wanted to hatch a few since I am going to buy a few chicks from TSC.
Also on March 28th I am hopefully getting Ameraucana/Silver-Spangled Hamburg eggs from a friend.
That's so sad. My dogs have attempted to chase goose several times, but she/he ended up attacking them.
My dad thought she/he would have flown off by now, but I am glad she/he hasn't.
