My muscovy that's not laying went broody on a dozen of eggs from my hen that is laying. Lol! Is that normal for muscovies??? I also have six eggs in the incubator. Her name is Dori and the one that is laying is Yolanda. I don't have a name for my drake yet. Any suggestions???
Ambi, It has been the worst winter here in Northern Wisconsin that i have ever seen in my 34 years. It hit a low of -55 degrees early February. You have nothing to worry about. lol... All my birds hung in there rather well. They are pretty hardy birds to say the least.
Buck Oaks, I purchased her last fall from a lady. She his one of my favorites for sure. Buff ripple i guess you would call her. She was all buff before her first molt. Then she acquired the white.. She is a looker. She is pretty small.. All three females i got from that lady are smaller. She had all different colors out of two hatches. I got a white, a black ripple and the buff from her. And all the parents were black and white pied.... SO it will be interesting to see what they have for ducklings. I have a black and white pied drake, a black drake, and a lavender drake. I may put the buff with the lavender drake in a breeding pen.
