Muscovy keepers share your pics!

I was reading about that actually, it is recommended but it would be an inside outside goat, like a dog lol, so It would have friends inside and everything, plus I would get a girl so no much agression and I would get her spade an dehorned just so it would be okay to have inside.

I FINALLY got my first muscovy egg from Trouble!!

And I added 3 more muscovy ducks 2 chocolate pied and a black barred pied?

My Quacks has decided that it's her new mission in life to nest in the neighbors flowerbed -_-

Yes, that's true. I'm going to try to reduce the number of birds I have so I can spend more time with them. Right now I really have way more than we need. :/

I have a lot of birds that are just companions at the moment but I still manage to get plenty of eggs!

And what do the neighbors think about it? Hopefully you just mean lay her egg because if she is actually nesting I don't think she'll last long.

The neighbors are, thankfully, very patient. When I found her this afternoon she was sitting on three eggs. Ugh, I hate to do it but she cannot brood up their flowerbed! Like you said, it's too dangerous for her to be nesting there, plus I don't think our non-poultry keeping neighbors would handle the mess she makes very well. Lol I've put her back in the duck run with her boyfriend for now. (She had been free ranging with the chickens) Hopfully she'll best in there and give up the idea of raising her kids on foreign soil.

Maybe put up a sign that says "There's No Place Like Home" maybe she'll take the hint.

Congratulations what a cutie, they can eat chicken starter or duck starter. they usually aren't too hungry first couple days because they are still living off the yolk sac but put the food down anyway and water too. make sure anything deep with water they can't get into though because they can easily drown. Mama should keep them warm they will climb under her feathers. Hopefully more hatching today!
