Rehome one being kindest easiest solution.. sadly maybe. I've been looking for one friendly drake as friend to help out duties with my friendly drake as i eat off the mean drakes. my friendly drake loves the other drakes but they'll beat on him if catch as he was boss and huge but i had him...

My preg beotch ACD has taken to eating every possom that she gets.. however the dogs can't get the packrats in barn that roll away eggs, and steal feed, so if no drake in pen then the eggs get rolled away under pen. :/ On other hand i have more nests and clutches than scovy hens. One nest fills...

cuddle pile of filthy ducklings.

A dozen scovy duckings seeming healthy happy, and filthy! I try to keep bathing/drinking water as clean as possible cleaning out tub usually four, to sometimes eight times a day. Suddenly seeing size differences.. about half dozen are huge now to others, two at least seem maybe just runty...

@Miss lydia, Thanks for the heads up on the trouble possible with the drake, ill have to watch him and set up seperate pen just in case. I have nesting chinese owl pigeons in by them and waiting for their current squekers to feather out totally ect, but oddly they are always on ground around...

This is as healthy and heavily carruncled as they have gotten at times, female probly same as hens as stress of daying shrinks and discolors hers?

Well been checking on mamma muscovy duck, and today she got off nest for while and i was able to take an egg to safely for me candle, as last time she seemed being gentle but kept nipping and pulling at me as hissed, which got male all close and mad at me. Theyvall of few I've checked from edge...

I just had to read through the saga also of "as the eggs turn".. lol. if in florida and have ferals, supposedly most are the huge commercial Hatchery and culinary stock abandoned and released, some accidentally by storms, or escaped. i don't know, just what read, and seen in many picks...

Guy came and cut the three acres for hay ect, and most importantly cleared around pond, which I'm hoping helps keep the preds away, as talked to game warden who has pair of scovys turned loose on one of his ponds, at local petting zoo/safari park, and he was saying how bad the hawks, mink...

Id heard years ago when had rescue, that they lay thirty eggs often and can hatch all. recent having comp and talking to locals that breed them, I'm now told they lay a dozen eggs only. Some said they may make two or three nests with dozen in each.. if i get half to dozen ducklings hatched...

Yesterday/last night, my female muscovy laid another egg.. white again but between the other two sizes (one that was in her old owners pen with her when bought that was huge and colored like clutch of dozen in barn that were ready to hatch couple weeks ago, and one laid day before yesterday that...

I tossed the huge older egg to my collie and still was fresh, with huge golden yolk. shell was so hard and thick though. funny and sad note, i had a chicken egg given to me at flea market that had put under one of my pigeons to hatch blow up under her. Poor thing, as had to bath her, toss her...

Think they're settled enough to let out now to free range graze/forage, and not just try to take off? old five hundred cattle trough full of more mosquito larvae ect now that put water plants in it.. plenty of slugs and snails ect that need eating out of lawn and fields. too, as well as over...

Ants, algea, muck, red water worms, tree frog tadpoles, great pond snails, and any other goodies I'm forgetting. as i was trying to finnish setting up and as i was hauling gruelingly all this mess over (heavy messy wet stinky breaking out of large pots, roots everywhere, as had to drag last...

Got home and found duck laid an egg! its smaller and white.. any ideas why (as egg when bought pair was huge and off white like clutch that was ready to hatch also given to me, unless he just put one in their to get extra five bucks cause she supposedly was layin..)? Either way this egg for...

I'm wondering, as lately been talking to show and meat breeders of scobies close to me (only one sadly maybe willing to part with some found extra eggs that were hidden), and they either free range or keep in barn or pen, and there's supposedly do fine as long as each drake has a hen to harass...
