Hatching
Hi all! I acquired a mama muskovy when neighbors down the road drained their pond. (To clean it?) Apparently ppl have been dropping off unwanted poultry there for years.
She 1st nested under my deck in the spring. 7 babies were all killed by hawks at about a week old.
She's done it again and now there are 10. 3 boys, 7 girls. They are about 3.5 weeks old. She is such a good mama too.
We have a kiddie pool for them and at night they hide under the deck. We don't have any real predators here except hawks. But I think the cold coming may bother them. I want to build them a house. But not sure the appropriate size they need. I need to keep it small as we don't have the biggest yard. I'd love any suggestions! Thank you so much!
