i do love my khaki campbells! But my muscovy are the most friendly and meaty (but I couldnt eat them!)

Are the khaki meaty? Do they really lay that many eggs? I had heard that Muscovy are meaner do they laywell

muscovy are very meaty and lay great. mine are super friendly-much more than my campbells. my friend that I got mine from has a ton because they lay so much and go broody often-which is when they are meaner. My khaki are smaller and more skittish but I hear they lay all winter long where the muscovy lay less in winter. but right now my Pekins are doing the best-very plump and meaty and laying like crazy!

I am hatching also, I have 4 eggs in the incubator (EE's and chocolate orp mixes), 5 eggs with broodies (also EE's and chocolate orp mixes). They are due to hatch on Monday.

I hatched 3 eggs in the incubator (3 EEs and 1 Marans/Orp cross), the broodies hatched 1 egg (EE), and I also got 9 chicks in the mail. They are all doing great now. I have 13 chicks. Swimming in chicks. My yard is going to be a disaster. They are soooo cute though.
