My ducklings from this year

A few of my girls

in the top picture, what color did the yellow guy turn out to be? His beak is very deep in color I have one like that from my black drake and blue hen.

Thanks KOTH!!

I'm so glad that the site encourages people to try Muscovy! While checking my Inbox is sometimes a full time job, I've got to talk to people from all over the world about Muscovy & it's great to be able to interact with everyone.

Chicken Kisses, that first pic is fabulous! There's nothing shy about that little guy, is there?

BTW ... in the photo I posted I forgot to mention the caruncling on that guy. He had by far the most caruncling I've had on a bird (he wasn't my breeding) and I considered his to be excessive.

Yes I must agree as well, great awesome job, the breeders map is where i got my first white hens ! Her offspring the next year got blue ribbon at the County Fair !

I think your last pic wins as the cutest so far! 22 babies, that is insane! Sometimes Im glad Sadie doesnt lay eggs.

I must agree 22 wow, muscovies amaze me sometimes!

Miss Lydia,

I was asking about the yellow duckling with its head on the back of the older black ducking. I had two like the one pictured above, but sadly a raccoon killed about 25 of my ducklings I got this spring from my hens. I was really sad

I'm new to muscovies and I've heard of fertility problems. What is the best Hen to Drake ratio to guarantee fertile eggs?

I usually go 3-4 hens per Drake and have no problems, all 3 hens set usually with about 15-21 eggs per nest

This is the duckling your seeing in my post, she has changed from solid yellow to this. I'm so sorry to hear about your ducklings, I am putting up night guard protector lights along with the motion lights we already have. We are having night visitors and even though my coops are pred proof I don't want them around.
