Last night and for a couple of nights Joy likes to make it miserable for everyone once the door is closed for the night, those that don't roost get chased around for about 10 mins while she herds them to different rooms. Then she settles down. But I have had to put them in solitary confinement before because they can be so hateful. usually a couple nights on their own in a different coop settles them down. Till the next one starts.

. This is what I got for taking her egg.

She is so adorable!
Sorry about your arm! Mine looks like that, very often, too!

She’s one that really latches on and twists this was pretty mild.

Broody Muscovy ducks can be brutal!

Okay I'm prepping for laying season, and to keep the coop somewhat peaceful I need good "nest" ideas. What are some things your girls think are great places to lay in? Last year they all wanted the same darn corner and I only had one laying at a time. I want to get as much broodiness as I can done and dusted before summer

 

[Miss Lydia]

I have a few cubby holes in the coop for them to choose from. Most do lay in them or in a corner except one of my Muscovy she likes to nest in the chicken nest box.

I'll get some pics of my duck nesting boxes to give you some ideas.
