I love the pic of the babies following the mama in

We have had nothing but constant rain so i havent been out to take new pics of my brats yet

 

[BarefootMom]

Oh I can't wait to have babies!

I saw some action going on yesterday...so I have my *fingers crossed* that we will soon have some spring babies...possibly Easter babies!

This may have been asked already, but what is the best size nestbox for a muscovy?

 

[Bleenie]

I use closed in boxes, they like the privacy. They are 1.5ft long, 1ft wide, 1ft deep. With a hole cut in the front(to one side) for them to get in and out.

Aww thanks! Im really happy with that hatch and how they've turned out

I have a few questions about Muscovies! Are they good mothers and hatchers? How many hens to a drake is a good ratio for a great hatch rate? Will they fly away? Do they have good tempers? Do they lay an egg a day on average? When are they likely to go broody? Do they need a lot of eggs to go broody? Thank you!
