J.M Hatchery Muscovys! Great service!

Hmmm...the pictures they show of their silkies and `scovies are wayyyy different than any I've seen. The silkie has a single comb and the body doesn't look like a silkie at all.

The `scovy face (close up) doesn't seem to resemble a `scovy, either.

well i've only had them for about 7 hours,
but they are really small. so i dont know.

but it says they get 12lbs in 12 weeks, and I will see if thats true.

Mine are 2 weeks old and they don't seem to be growing any quicker than mallard derived ducklings. They are cute as heck though! I have one naughty little guy who gets out of the cage through a feed hopper and when I go to gather him up he wags his little rump to not get in any trouble.

Haha, thats too cute.

But yes, they are small!

I just introduced 4 to my broody female duck, whos eggs are infertile. i hope she takes them in!

I got some about a week ago and they are doing great! Mine are growing at a good clip--but I am also keeping food available 24/7. They are perfectly healthy and alert.

asher- I did notice that most of my silkies had single combs. But if your not looking for show quality, these are great.

 

[lowcountrypoultry]

Well here is some pic's of five of them. With their "adoptive" mom.

I don't exactly "need" show quality. Just a bird that looks like the standard for that breed, I guess.

I understand. The hens dont look too bad with single combs, but one rooster I had looked like a Silkie with a Leghorn comb.
