I will have a hard time choosing Though there is one with an all black belly so far that I like the look of

They did great out in the coop with the big kids last night! All safe and sound this morning. Not looking cold at all. It went down to 13 last night (or 55) and they were all good. Of course it is probably warmer in the barn then outside.

I LOVE how easy they are to herd. Maybe they will teach the teenager chickens a thing or two?

If it's a boy, I'd get him other muscovies. Can you imagine a big 'scovy mating a tiny little call? Ouch!

http://www.muscovyduckcentral.com/gender.html I found this helpful, as well as Miss Lydia. She was a Godsend! I thought for sure I had a drake, but nope. Macy is very much a hen. I also have two khaki campbell hens. My giant partridge cochin mates all three of those hens. I will smack him if he tries to mate a 1.5 pound call! He's HUGE.

He's ashamed that he's a chicken. You should see him crow. He looks like he's going to throw up. Most roosters will stretch their head UP to crow, he hangs it down. It's very odd. He was raised with all ducks/geese until I put him with my flock @10 weeks or so. He has never mated a chicken before, and he's going on 8 months
