Chocolate muscovey?

[ziggywiggy]

I just bougth a pair of what the lady called Chocolate Muscovies for $15.00. That's a good deal right? They are very nice looking ducks. I bought them to eat but, now I think I'll raise them.
How will they be around my chickens? Should I build them a seperate pen? I have a seperate pen they can roost in. Are they mean?

That is a pretty good deal around here. I wish I had a pair! They are good around chickens. The only thing is sometimes the chickens attack them and ruin their nests. They are very easy to tame, and are practically never aggressive.

I have Chocolate Muscovies, they were raised around chickens, so they all get along.
My blue drake was given to me because he was attacking chickens... Sooooo I suppose it depends on the duck....

WE NEED PIC's!!!!!

Do you know if they are hens or drakes or one of each? $15.00 is a very good price for two.

Cool, I live in McNeal. I bought these in Whetstone. We are just right up the road from each other. We need to contact each other and trade ideas. I don't know about you but, this is a hard place to sell anything. I have Midget Whites and some very nice Rhode Island Reds. Not the feed store or hatchery variety.
