Magnificent Marvelous Muscovies!

So today Donald flogged poor Daisy, in his attempt to mate her. He's never been agressive towards his girls before. I had to chase him off with a broom (and fight the urge to stick him in a pot!) But look at my poor girl! She also has blood on her back, I'm guessing where he tried to grab hold of her.

Bless! Those girls sure have to be tough cookies!

I'm so sorry about that. Hopefully he isn't so aggressive next time.

Time for some Scovy pics!
I'm pretty sure the blue fawns are my most favorite color.

I suppose that's kinda a LOT of pics, but ya know........ You can never have too many pics of ducks, can you?

One of my Muscovy hens hatched 20 more ducklings yesterday.
Uh oh, duck math is getting to me..... again!
Now my last batch of Muscovies is hatched for the year.
They're extraordinarily adorable as ever.
I'll have to try and get some pics soon.
They came in so many different colors this time! Some of them look like colors I've never seen before. I can't wait until they feather out and I can see what they will look like.

I had organized to pick up the last muscovies for my magpie-breeding project next week, but my car broke down so now I'm stranded and broke!! I had to send a humble and apologizing message to the seller and call off the deal. Luckily he was fine with it. Gosh, I hate inconveniencing people...

My initial plan was to do line breeding with 3 unrelated drakes. Not sure what I'll go for now, either 2 lines with the 2 good drakes I have and get new birds for the last line next year, or use the "badly patterned" drake I have as the 3rd line. We'll see...

The two blue ones I bought last week, Don Quiduck and Duckinea. The two smaller black ones are of my own stock, Didrik and Della.

Your new Muscovies are very, very beautiful!
