Muscovy keepers share your pics!

Everyone said my Stanford was ugly. I though was in love with his wagging tail, the way he puts on a show when he wants fed which I affectionately call " priss potting". He hisses, shakes his head and neck up and down and wags his tail. I love him even if he is honerny with my runners. I was blessed to get three more.

I've had runners, Pekins and Muscovies. They by far are the most affectionate. Beauty is what you make of it, I guess. I never saw him as ugly but maybe I could see how others do.

YOUR BABY IS SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL

Guys !! The last baby just hatched

It's been rough few days over here, with a huge loss, a rescue, and a power outage. I have just lost my last remaining grandparent, my grandmother, two weeks after I lost my grandfather. I know that this is not an uncommon thing for people who have lived together so long and suddenly one is alone. It's still hard though. I was going to email her pictures of all the chickens here to cheer her up, but before I could she was in the hospital and she passed away yesterday.

I also went out last night after dark to shovel off my back deck, because we were afraid the weight of the snow might collapse it, and I looked out over the yard and to my horror, the roof of the muscovy pen had collapsed in under all the snow and buried my drake and duck. It is a small miracle that they were where the were when the roof collapsed, because instead of being crushed, they were pushed right up under the roofing material and snow against the side of the pen, where a tiny gap was left. There was just enough room that they were pinned and couldn't move but not crushed under the weight of the snow and roof. So I dug them out and put them in the main coop until spring, when they will move into the completed legbar coop. In the light of day they are fine and have no injuries, and are dealing well with being thrown in with all the other birds. The drake wandered over to greet me today while I was out feeding them. He was stuck the most badly and I think he realizes that I saved them.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your grandparents.

But to have saved your ducks had to have been a real blessing. Glad to hear they are both okay.
