Muscovy keepers share your pics!
Pyxis- my scovies do the same thing! Won't stay out of the road. I will hear cars honking and run out to shoo them back. My dog is getting to be a decent herder at this rate (and he has no herd dog in his breeding). I've been working with him to help me 'direct' those goofballs back to my... -

I hate to do this but they are already chasing their sisters. I don't want any inbreeding between them and their sisters or mom. Plus, with the number of boys I've got they are going to be harassing the girls too much and I don't want them stressed. I am keeping one drake who has such comical... -

I don't know if any of you are in MI but I have 4 big, pretty drakes - just over 4 months old - for sale or trade. I hate to have them processed as they are so nice but I have way too many boys! They go for processing next week if they don't sell. -

Miss Lydia, I went and looked at that plastic poultry netting today. I may have to go that route. The girls knew something was up when we went out to clip their wings today. Couldn't even catch them! Usually they are on me like stink on a skunk because they know I have treats somewhere, lol. I... -

Thank you, Alaskan. The girls from this hatch were so sweet, too! One of them would always try to fly up on my shoulder when I brought breakfast out. I think she wanted to 'see' what was in the breakfast bucket before any one else had a chance to. I thought it was interesting that I had 2... -

Well, I lost another scovy girl to one of the foster dogs. I've asked the rescue to find another foster for this boy and his brother since I'm not set up for a dog that stalks and kills chickens and ducks. He's killed one of my Isa Browns and 2 of my 4 month old scovy girls now. They don't have... -

I'm in the same boat with drakes:ducks. My 1 hatch this year yielded 8 boys and 4 girls (that I kept - 5 others went to a fellow BYCer). I sold one drakelet last week. I want to keep at least 2 of the 4 girls. The boys are so funny I hate for them to go but it has to be. Their coloring and... -

I don't know if it's the weather or if the Muscovies have made the difference but it's been a mild skeeter year. Well, it was pretty bad first thing in the spring but my scovies were added late spring. -

Not a great pic, I know, with the position of the sun, distance, window, etc. but I looked outside and saw my army of skeeter eaters, lol. Some are off to the side and not pictured. -

These guys are a little over 2 months now and most are as big as their parents! I think most of them are boys, too. Out of 12, 4 are most likely girls. And I got a call from a guy yesterday asking me to come get another female and her five ducklings. I'm out of room unless I can get a duck coop... -

The guy I got them from lived next to people who were advertising on CL that they would take any and all unwanted barnyard animals. Then the township found out . . . and came in with vans and trucks and hauled most of the animals away. The muscovies escaped capture apparently and took the place... -

My current not-so-little ones. These are 12 that I took in along with 3 adults from a gentleman in a neighboring township. There were 5 more little ones but they went to a new home with a fellow BYC member. I decided to keep the rest. I love watching their colors change. It looks like I'll have... -

I will have to get more pics of my Scovy babies up this weekend. I don't know what happened today but their colors/patterns popped while I was at work. I come home and the 2 that I knew were going to be darker chocolates are now much darker than the rest of the chocolates in the group. And I... -

I've got one broody scovie right now. I put 4 Pekin/Pekin mix eggs under her along with one of her own eggs (which disappeared - I think one of my broody chickens stole it). I'm not sure if the eggs were fertile or not, the Pekins they came from are still pretty young. And the drakes trying to... -

Aussie - bleed stop powders are available at most farm supply and pet stores. You can also use flour and (I believe) corn starch . . . Or was it corn meal???
