i need reasons to tell my hubby why i should get muscovy ducks?

[Mrs. Glassman]

I'm so excited for you!!
Congrats!!

Yeah!! I am so glad you got some babies. Can't wait to see pics. Yours are about a week older than mine. It will be interesting to see how many hens vs. drakes that you got. Did he say what they were or did he know? Baby Muscovy drakes usually have bigger feet than the hens. With four to compare to each other, you may be able to tell. If they all look the same size feet, then you have all drakes or all hens. Otherwise, maybe you can tell.

Waiting for pics...

I have two , mine are 8 weeks and I think I have two females. They are so funny, my dogs are scared of them. Have fun with your duckies!

You're a wife... you needs reasons?

thank you all for your advice... I haven't used the crying bit in a long time... thought i give it a try...

I think he actualyy went along with it since he worked 39 hours last week and I had to take care of everything and we missed out on his company bbq because he was at work and some other plans that were made... a little quilt trip doesn't hurt...

I checked out the feet... one has smaller feet than the other 3(from what I can tell)... trying to get my camera from my hubby so I can get pics... he uses it for work..

Hi chixie,

Well, that one is probably a little girl. Can't wait to see the pics! My little ones are growing FAST! I need to take some more pics and put them up too. Little duckies are so much fun!

I am enjoying them... every afternoon I take them outside at let them swim... My mallard dmomma duck tries to protect them, so we tried to see if momma wanted them but she wouldn't let them eat... she just doesn't want us messing with them... so we took them away.... my mallard babies are growing fast ...
