Hey everybody!
So my daughter started 4H last year and just did public speaking. But now we have a barnyard full of animals and she wants to start showing them. Our goats aren't dehorned so they can't be used, and we have American Guinea Hogs so she can't use them as they don't grow fast enough. That leaves us with the chickens and ducks. She's thinking of doing showmanship with our chicks once they're older as our other chickens we got as adults and wouldn't have any of that. She also wants to do it with ducks.
We currently have 3 Khaki Campbells, but they're pretty skittish. We also have 5 Muscovy ducklings we're raising in the house and are SUPER friendly. She wants to use them, but everything I look up mentions pekins or khaki campbells. I haven't found anything with Muscovies in 4H. Do they not do well? Anybody ever use them or show ducks in general? I have NO idea where to even begin really and nobody in her club does ducks.
