Arkansas folks speak up.........

[jenjscott]

Sorry, rodriguez, I live way down in SE arkansas so I can't help you out, besides, the flood waters are on their way back up into my yard.

I never hear my muscovies - the most they do is hiss during feeding time. Now my calls are an entirely diff matter. tongue

Do the Muscovies fly? If so I would have to remedy that.​

The hens fly great but the drakes b/c they are so heavy usually can't fly well. You can always clip wings. I love their personalities and they are great brooders.

OK, i am ready to try some ducks. They will be going under our broody LF cochin (jelly bean) in a nice little brooder box. No sure how big the eggs are, how many of these can she sit on? Now for the big questions, anyone have muscovy eggs I can buy?
Thanks

I have 5 sitting in my egg basket from my Lav - they are pretty good size eggs. PM me if interested.

Jarhead, my ducks are quiet. The hen will quack a little but nothing as loud as a rooster. I have 6 babies hatched and 2 about to hatch and more in the incubator.

I love the chocolate duck.

Anyone going to the auction Saturday? I think I'm going to buy some turkeys. I'm down to 1 and she is so lonely. She follows me and sits close to us.

We may go to auction - haven't decided yet. I have a mix roo that I need to take - unless someone wants him -- he is LF - white with black spots (almost lacing) on him.
