Looks like you’ve been adopted

With a reliable winter food source, she may be a regular at your place. I'm not sure what it'd take to tame a feral Muscovy, but if she's hungry likely will partially tame down just being fed and watching the chickens around you.

There's a small public lake near me that has a huge 'Scovy drake. He's been there for years and is tame enough to feed within 1 step distance. He's usually swims close when launching my kayak. She looks adoptable; healthy with the attractive little white markings.

Ferals can be tamed it just takes longer.

If she gets comfortable she might just go in with the chickens one of these days. She’s so pretty

She has decided to reside in the chicken run during this cold snap. She won't go in the coop but I put extra shavings on the run floor and the walls are covered in plastic to block the elements so she's much better protected then being outside. Baby steps

That is so sweet. I am glad she has you to help her through these frigid days. Sounds like she is feeling more and more at home. The chickens are okay with her being in their run?

They're completely unphased have pretty much been since the beginning minus a couple trying to show her who's the boss lol

How wonderful! Now to get her tame enough to clip her wings

 

[RebelFord81]

She has decided to reside in the open run she let's me close but not too close yet. She has her own water bowl to dunk in away from the chickens still to dunk in cause they're greedy lol

She settled in quite nicely, I see! Good for you giving her a home!
