Ambitious Muscovy Hen

[pawtraitart]

One of my muscovy hens had a hidden nest. By the time I found her sitting, she had hoarded 22 eggs. SHE HATCHED THEM ALL! I sold five of them to cut down on the number she had to keep warm at night, but when out foraging with her brood she coaxed the babies of another hen to join her group. This hen sure loves taking care of babies!

What a sweet story and beautiful ducks and ducklings, Congratulations and I do believe Muscovy's would take over the world if given the chance they love to hatch big broods.
