8 months?? Wow!! I would've thought he was gone for good!

Yeah! At first I did think he was gone but he stayed on our neighbors ponds.

Hopefully, he'll stay home! I've got Christmas lights and reflective ribbon running across our yard. It was meant as a hawk deterrent but it's kept my crew in so far

I started with one male baby muscovy in December that the owners didn't want. When he matured, I bought a full grown female, who happened to be broody when I brought her home. It was fun to see how excited he was to have a mate. At first it was strange because he didn't seem to know how to fertilize the eggs, so I figured all the eggs would be duds, I never saw them mating successfully. Somehow 4 of her 11 eggs hatched. So now around six months after my first male baby, I have a family of muscovys.

As a first time owner, they are very fun to have around. I don't name them, but if I did have to name the male it would be "Satan" because he is somewhat ornery to the female. They make the most interesting sounds and I do like to feed them at night, they love to eat whatever we cook for dinner.

That’s awesome! I started pretty close to how you did but I got a full grown male first.

Just a couple from just now. My pied girl is still sore, but is feeling better than last night. Her sister is staying by her side

How can you not love a handsome guy like this. I have 10 Muscovies, 2 Drakes - Jack and Kitkat (pictured), and 8 females - Galaxy, Gracie, Mudpuddle, Onsie, Daphne, Dorothy, Quackers, and Spaz. They live happily together most of time, but I have to set up a second coop for KitKat and 2 of the girls during breeding season.
I sell the eggs but use the broody ducks to sit on peacock eggs.
