If I get a drake I'll have to make sure to get a black one! Thanks for the lead, I love lavenders so much.

Ahh, thank you so much! Everything I needed to know :)

It's funny that they seemed to know! I think I'll play it safe and use chickens for chickens, but I like the idea of chickens hatching ducks :) it's so cute whenever I've seen it!

Gotcha. I thought it seemed odd and unlikely to be really successful!

Aw, poor mamas. Well they do seem to get over things fast. I've heard they're wonderful mamas but am wondering if they are really good for hatching chicks versus ducklings. I've seen it a lot on the YouTube but I always think: The Muscovy hens are so heavy, the chicks are so tiny and...

Thanks, that is good info as I was pretty worried that it was unheard of in Muscovies. The only time I've heard her quack was when she was caught. I can get a pic out tomorrow when it's light for sure. She is a beautiful dappled grey w/white. I guess that makes her a piebald but it's more grey...

Yeah that would help :) I should have taken one before they were locked up for the night. I can get one tomorrow for sure.

I am brand new to Muscovy ducks and only have one at the moment: When my drake lost his mate I thought I'd get him another and a nearby Craigslist post led me to a flock of muscovy ducks. I assess the seller as a nice enough person and it all seemed innocent BUT... he showed me his flock of...
