awesome! I look forward to that. He isnt afraid of Bruce Lee the silkie rooster and I think he should be. That rooster goes right for the eyes!! Bruce is officially banned from all other birds until I figure out what I am doing with him. I put him in his own side of the fence where he cant hurt...
I love how your on every thread to answer my questions! So chickens and ducks are pretty much the same with going broody as far as attitude.
Ollie runs away!
All of my scovy girls make noise. My son thinks it sounds like a cat purring.
I do like scovies more so than the cayuga mixes. My...
All in all they get along, I got rid of a few scared (at humans) and aggressive ones and it made the whole flock nice and calm. I have only had one duck go broody and when she did EVERYONE ran from her. even the most aggressive drakes ran! =)
off topic question. i read on a chicken thread...
We have two pure white scovies that we got from a farmer that breeds towards pure white. they are both super nice ducks and huge because she breeds them for meat birds. I have seen a lot of musovies. I live in central Florida where they are all over as feral ducks. I have never ever seen one...
How many of you has had a duck with different colored eyes? The newest muscovy I just bought has one bright blue eye and one very dark brown eye. I realized it yesterday. Is this common? I have never seen it? I bought her because I like her coloring. I am hoping her flight feathers turn out to...
no clue. he crows, he is super friendly to us but my poor goose, he is not so friendly too. she has a bad leg and doesnt walk well. she is imprinted on us and is a little afraid of the ducks and her future mate (hopefully). we keep her inside with us but when i am outside she is out too. i...
okay thanks. dropping are contained so what ever they spread it would have been airborne....or maybe mites if they jump through the mesh. I am going to move them out today and put them in their own area. but honestly , my yard is so small and with the 10 yr old running around. if they have...
I need advice. I came home with chickens last night completely unprepared. My son and I went to a farm swap and ended up and hour and 15 minutes away at animal auction. we brought home 3 silkies, 1 muscovy and 3 bb red bantams. we ended up getting home at midnight exhausted. against better...
OH!! they are so cute!!! We really want ducklings! I bought 3 cross breeds from a farmer two weeks ago and didnt realize how different other ducks personalities are compared to muscovies. Seller said she had cayugas, welsh Harlequins, runners and a few other that she couldnt remember. I think...
post pics when you have time.
She is so pretty! I think she might be considered a blue fawn. that is what someone called my duck when i asked the coloring.
I dont know how I missed all of your wonderful posts! thank you so much for posting the age progressions. Toffee is such a pretty duck. What color do you consider her? is it a blur fawn? All of your duck are so pretty, I wish you lived closer so I could buy some off of you. Too bad we couldnt...
Wow what a pretty duck!! would love for you to post age progression pics if you are keeping them! Or you could put a couple in a box and send them to me. =) I am interested in watching the coloring changes. there wasnt much color changes for my white ducklings. thanks for posting.! tag me...
I couldnt tell for sure until mine were about 8 weeks. it might be hard because of the age difference. but males get their feathers on their wings much later than the females.
