Here is mine! Her name is Vause and she is SOOO spoiled.

She is absolutely adorable. Of all the pics and they are all great the one with the dog is my fav.

Now that their out and about I think they are all black and white. Was hoping for another Andromida. The little brown from the other girl is settled in with her. Glad I did it because she still doesn't have anymore babies.

Aren't they precious no matter the color.

Yeah they are! Just so happy she finally has some. Been worried about her health after a summer of sitting.

I like to use the Muscovy calculator to determine who I breed with who. I like to keep a somewhat rainbow flock. Really want a new pair of Lavender ones but can't seem to find anyone near me with them! -Don't want to pay for shipping so I guess I'll have to hold my breathe and hope someone near me comes along with some!-

Im knida surprised. I thought my boys carried some hidden colors because my other girls had every color, but lavender pretty much last hatch. Waiting for Venus to show up with babies. She had the barred blue, brown, black. Hoping this time I dont loose them to raccoons!

How do you take their eggs once they decide they want to set? I tried that, taking one away after Coco had gotten 4 or 5 in the nest ("she'll never notice," I thought). She immediately went into hiding under the barn and a month later--presto!--she had 16 babies!

Like you, I had some go into hiding. I've got babies everywhere. It breaks my heart to take up their eggs and it scares me they will go outside of the protected perimeter but I have got to do it. I try to go in when they are off their nest to eat and bathe. Good luck to you
