About to have bacon wrapped Muscovy for the first time tonight. The boys were being a bit ruff and accidentally broke one of the girl’s legs and peck her eye so now they are dinner. My girls just started laying. Eggs are good, will see how the fellas taste.

Thanks for the nod to the pic. Wife gets credit for that one. She’s the talent behind the camera.

Take pictures, I'd like to see what it looks like!

Will do. Marinated the breasts in A-1 and Irish whiskey. Be ready in about an hour. Hope it’s good. Otherwise the kids will be disappointed. Hope I’ve got some nuggets for backup.

Hey folks! New to chickens and poultry. I have two hens, EE/Welsummer (green layer), Welsummer/??? (Light brown layer) and a Black Bantam Cochin Roo. My birds were free to me and are “pets.” My EE (Sunny) went broody sitting on the other (Rosie) one’s eggs and hatch some really interesting chicks. I think I’ve got 50% male/female from this. And I started hatching some other free eggs Tuesday. They are EE Hen x Buff Orpington Rooster; EE x Rhode Island Red; Barred Plymouth Rock Hen x BO; BR x RIR. I had 14 of that combination and 6 eggs from backyard chicken muts that I’m not sure what they are. So far 12 of 22 have hatched. I also have 8 guineas and 3 Muscovies. It all kinda just happened and now I have a flock. Look forward to the content on this forum.

Hello there! You have some great looking birds! Thank you for sharing!

I have some amusing memories of my first time eating duck. It was a Muscovy (the best duck I am told), and the LO was about two. She was eager to eat the duck I pointed to outside. It wasn’t him, but as we wrapped the duck in bacon (stuffed with apple and onion), she was giggling about eating him.
