I haven't let them out yet. I don't have a place to put them down where I could catch them easy.

That's hard, and you are so busy with camp cooking.  You will enjoy them much more then they are outside.  No extra wire to make a little corral for them? 

I can see through the poop.  It's going to be a nice looking duck/drake (??? huge minster!)  Still not sure what color though.  Love it when they are all different colors so I can tell them apart. 

I have extra wire, but I'd rather just spend that effort getting the coop ready. I have an XXL dog kennel that's wrapped in chicken wire and missing its bottom tray that I can let them in tomorrow while I clean up the brooder. Hopefully they'll clean themselves up and won't need an actual bath.

What are u going to do when the drakes start messing with your hens?

Muscovies technically aren't ducks, so I don't know if they'll have the same issues as duck private parts? My farm neighbor has her muscovies in with chickens, guineas, turkeys, and other ducks. She doesn't seem to have any trouble, maybe because they all have big flocks of each other and plenty of room?

I also plan to move them to the pond once they're feathered and waterproof. Also planning to eat drakes.

Camping, i have 2 EE pullets that look like the EE hen u posted a pic of except they don t have ear muffs.

So fun! Did you still want eggs in the spring?

I googeled and there is a thread on here talking about the muscovies penis and yes, it is the corkscrew shape.

Yes to eggs in the spring.

Well I'll have to make sure they're at the pond, then. That should be easy enough. It's a little less than 1/4 mile from the pond to the farm.

Granny what color polish did you tell me to get to go with my Tolbundt ?

I would think that as long as they have their own hens there shouldnt be too much of a problem But dont quote me on that.

If it's warm enough, you can hose them off a bit or give them something to wade in. Then pull the pen over to clean grass so they can dry.
