Well my muscovy hen Dark knight is home! I cant say that being a wild ducky is a bad thing because she looks absolutly gorgeous!!! Her carnucles are starting to come in, and gosh, i just cant believe how stunning she is! I dont know how long she is staying, and my camera is dead, but im glad to watch her while she is here. There was a little bit of cotroversy(sp?) Where my drake Monty attacked her but - DAM*! She is like a velociraptor! SHe jumped into the air and landed on his back, pinning him to the ground with hert claws and pecking him with her beak! He is fine , but I dont think ill be clipping her wings. SHe can take off from a stand still nto the air and well - I just coldnt take away her freedom. ALl I can hope for is she will come back and stay with me in the spring so I can have her brood some eggs. If not, then all I can look forward to is her bringing her ducklings for a visit since she knows there is always food and shelter.
But she is happily eating out with the others right now, establishing her role as Queen of the flock.
