I think next time I'm at Sano I'm gonna post a sign on my truck that I want Muscoveys

it can't hurt - maybe someone has some at home they will sell me.

Yeah, I'm surprised I haven't seen any there in a while? There are usually a ton!! But you know you can't keep them with the others right? Not unless you want mule babies.​

Quail are sooooooo much easier to hatch!! Have you heard your boy crowing yet? Mine just started, and if they aren't crowing, they usually aren't breeding, so that might be the problem? But I did see a bullseye on one of mine, and the male just yesterday started crowing? I haven't tried mine yet, my bators have been full of other people's eggs!! Plus I was only getting 1 egg a day, not really worth it!

He's crowing now - I love that sound

I figure if they can fly they'll probably skip the waterfowl pen and just free range (and hopefully fly out of Toby's reach).

I want the scoveys for meat - I hear they taste very good. I guess a mule would be ok to eat, just not to sell for breeding purposes

that would tick someone off.
 
Not any worse than the people that pull drake feathers, to get more $$ for ducks! That really ticks me off!!

Oh, and you could always get muscovy ducks, not drakes, then at least you would know they are mules! You would just have to buy a few more hens when they got too old to lay. They would probably stick with the other ducks, I would think.

Well that will happen with older female guppies, especially if they are really big. The problem is that most of the fish are either imported from Southeast Asia or Florida and aren't really acclimated to our hard water up here in TN and KY. Often female guppies and even the males will eat the newborn babies if they have the chance. If they start looking like a humpback whale then they are more than likely almost 2 years old.

You might want to look at what you are feeding them, guppies are omnivores but leaning to the carnivorous side. So they need a diet higher in protiens than some other fish. I feed mine not only a staple flake diet, but the also get freeze dried tubifex worms, FD bloodworms(those I feed sparingly) and crushed shrimp pellets.

I also have live plants in their tanks, usually Watersprite. I keep a dual filtering system on my tanks, usually a bubble up corner filter and then one of those $10.00 Penguin filters that go inside the tank. This keeps the water super clean and oxygenated.

I meant to call her this week and got really busy trying to get that stupid pen built. My own child finally got a phone call from me (it's been two months

) and he chewed me out for it.

Well, he could always just email me.... I figured if he needed anything he'd get ahold of ME.

Yeah, I wonder how you would tell if it were a mule or not.

I don't think you could, unless you were 'up' on the colors. I would just tell people flat out that they were mules. I wonder if they would be all the same sex? Isn't that how donkey/horse mules work? The babies are always the same sex?

Speaking of mules, have your donkeys ever tried to breed your mare? Or is she too big? I know a palamino mule is a hot ticket item, and with your donkey colors, and horse color, it would be a possibility?​
