Muscovy keepers share your pics!

Glad to hear she is still with you. Why was she in the road.?

Heaven only knows.. Just like why a chicken crossed the road...

They sure are cute and word of warning another poster put his 5 week old Muscovy ducklings in with his chickens and they just about pecked them to death, he did lose one.

We are on day 4 and all seems well. My hens are pretty used to cultural diversity. They have seen every weird feathers, body type. you name it. I will keep an eye on them. Thanks

Always thinking something yummy is on the other side.

Is she still brooding?

Glad to hear all is well. I think some hens are just more high strung too. I think the games I use to keep wouldn't have done very well penned up with ducklings.

She is very pretty, and I like her setup too. when you take her to the river she doesn't swim off?

She usually comes back on land when she's done swimming. I've never had too much trouble with her running away. She loosely listens and follows so most of the time I don't have to worry. She is an imprinted duck. She has been a little brat today though. Running away from me when I go to pick her up. But she still stays near me.

I have a few questions about Quacker. When do muscovies usually start laying? Do they go broody often?
