Muscovy keepers share your pics!

I use fermented feed for my flock, have been doing it since last October. Very easy and they are all looking good. I sprouted over the winter, fenugreek seeds and blk oil sunflowers seeds and oats but none of my flock were real keen on them, they ate them but it wasn't as big a hit as I thought they would be. Maybe they are just too spoiled on mealworms. And they are so darn expensive.

Fermented confuses me, i don't get how you do it and how you store it. I don't have anywhere to even make it. Perhaps, when i get some real time i will read through to get a better understanding. mealworms.. ew.. mine just eat what's around here, basic country worms lol

Well, I'd say that in 2 years of trying, this is Ducky's first successful clutch! Some of the eggs (not sure if they were hers or ones I pulled from another Muscovy nest) were Mules, so 4 hatched early and resulted in a day off the nest, but after I pulled the mulelings that the ravens didn't get, she returned to the rather chilled nest. Much to my surprise, of the remaining 9 eggs, 8 hatched between yesterday and today!



They're very cute! And going to a local farm to be raised for meat. (Sorry little guys!)


Proud Momma!

well, yes, also if it's her first clutch i'd be hesitant to pull immediately, yes, i know they could loose the clutch to predators but still...
