Muscovy keepers share your pics!

The momma chicken starte squakin up a storm and when Aunt Pat came out the chicken was going crazy circling a puddle that the duckling had found to play in.

Poor broody chook, probably thought it's baby was going to drown!

That's why you don't let ducks brood chooks. Ducks would take the peeps to the water and wonder why they couldn't swim.

laralou - I hope you continue to post pic's of your chocolate ripple ducklings. I'd love to see them feather out.​

Here are my scovies i just got them last month and they have gotten HUGE

Sorry about the blurriness.

 

[ilroost]

your muscovies sure look like you have really taken care of them good.Do you want a couple more?

 

[OSUman]

yea they are really getting used to my mallard and other chickens right now i dug them a pond and they would rather be social with the chickens

i know they like em. And i like the Muscovy s do you know when they will be fully feathered.

Here's a few pics of my First ever Muscovies that i got from ohiofarmgirl today! I love them! They are so cute! My 2 mallards (a boy and a girl) are scared to death of them and they keep their distance from them.

THe Duck brigade! Mallards in front Muscovies in the back.

Here's a pic of my girl Ellie with her cute little spotted chest

Here's a pic of my boy Ronaldo (pronounced Ruh-nall-doe), I know weird name but i've always wanted a duck named Ronaldo.

Here's some pics of the two together!

Sorry for so many pics i just think they're so adorable!

And they just keep on growing.

Enjoying their new Snapset 6'X18" pool. It took them a week before they figured out how to get up & down into the pool & trust this new fangled contraption.

I'm hoping to keep this girl.

This young'un is from a clutch 3 wks younger . She may be a white head after a molt or two like her mom.

Young draklet fm same clutch as ducklet. If these blues have a few white feathers on their heads or neck they will probably molt out with white heads. You can see just a hint of possible white near his eye. A few more weeks should help me tell.

Keeper!

You get "favorite person in the world" for starting this thread. Such lovely birds. Oh those barred babies. Neat what you say about the Canizies (White Heads)



In fact thank you all for your pics!!

Keeper - Their claws dont wreck that pool? I wanted to get one of those for my ducks - it would be easier to clean and drain, but i thought their claws would rip through it.

 

[keeperofthehearth]

No, their claws don't seem to be a problem at this time. The pool has only been in use for about two weeks so we'll see how long it lasts. It's in the shade so the sun doesn't have a chance to ruin it. The Scovies DO like to bite on the edges and they have found out that the sides fold down for them so a few are now jumping both out and into it.

They get soooo excited! So far they haven't pushed it down far and long enough for too much water to escape. It's great for the bigger, older Scovies and you can always use a small kiddie pool for the babies. Large, easy to drain, water stays clean longer, good $ price. I would recommend it if you don't have a pond.
