Will it heart them if they eat layer feed

Yes it will. They can't have layer feed until they start laying. I have 3 stages of feed. The stuff for the small babies, then I get a grower crumble of some sort. Then I wait until the first hen lays, then I switch them over. Most of the bags of feed have an age range on them. Look at the feed bags.

If they are 1/2 Muscovy they won't hatch. Have you candled them?

Yes if fertile they will hatch. They'll just be mules, won't reproduce.

I have a weird property with two houses on 1.6 acres (houses are only 15 feet apart). I live in the smaller but less "crazy" one (the older one had not-to-code weird renovations done by hand by a previous owner) - house inspector actually laughed hysterically as he was going through the old house... I have a friend living there with her boyfriend for essentially cost (it helps me to have the place occupied, and I can avoid it being called "renting" tax-wise). She grew up on a farm, loves my chickens, not remotely bothered by 4 (well now 3) loud roosters. And built in chicken sitters!!!!

One of these days I'll do a major renovation, but for now, it's working out nicely...

I got SOME of my "to do" list done, but not as much as I wanted to. However, I DID finally get the hammock chair hung in the back yard (which is likely the main reason why I didn't get much done). LOVE LOVE LOVE this.....

(Please ignore my freaky mutant toes in the photo, it's a family thing...)

Can they eat scratch

Can who eat scratch?
Most birds can. Whether they should or not depends on the species, their age and what percentage of the diet is scratch.

I'm,serious because I have a muscovy on eggs but two of them have shadows already in air cell there only day 26

Why are you messing around with a broody birds eggs. She knows what she's doing. Leave them alone and your success will be much better/

Will it heart them if they eat layer feed

Hurt who? Layers, chicks, roosters, ducks, turkeys?

CH, thrilled for you!!! Hatching from your own chickens gets you into a more self-sustaining position. You may still sometimes want other eggs, but you aren't dependent on the post office any more (which is so great!), and hatching your own involves much less cost of shipped or purchased eggs. What are you setting, and what do you expect? (What are the pairings?) ... and Thing One is ADORABLE!!!!! I have a weird property with two houses on 1.6 acres (houses are only 15 feet apart).

your yard us beautiful! So lush

Dark room, bright light. I might be able to get in one more picture session before lockdown, depending on what they look like. Glad you enjoy them.

I do good to learn from

Yes if fertile they will hatch. They'll just be mules, won't reproduce.

really?

If it's abusive towards people than eat it.

No I would can him if he did that. He is over breeding my hens. They have scabs on their backs. I do not want to get aprons for them. Can I just pen him up or give him something to lower his libido?
