Yeah, I can understand.

Maybe you should give them more time to make their nests?

What do u mean by make their nests? Like wait for them to lay a lot of eggs because that's when I collect and then I only get three to seven of them and replace them with grocery store chicken eggs

If u mean like make a ligit nest then they have more than 15 nests they made already and reuse them all the time , and they usually lay I'm several in a week , see is one keep mine in a coop , mine are free range and lie it , they would hate being locked up at night

I'll post pictures of all the premade nest that they all ready made tomorrow

I really like this brown female. She was just added to the group and I have put her into a breeding pen with another brown male and female. I'd show you pictures of those but I took pics of them with the camera and the computer doesn't want to read the card. These were taken with my tablet which automatically loads into dropbox. Ah, technology...






The Black and white male and the white female can't get enough of each other. This pic was taken a couple of days ago before I moved everyone into breeding pens. I actually have much better pics of them on the camera (of course!). I put them into their own pen today and gave them some eggs in the nest. I am really hoping the white girl will go broody.

They are so pretty and I hope u have cute little babies, my brown females are like light creamy brown it's really hard to explain

Thanks guys! I was down to just the Black and white male at the end of winter, so I am crossing my fingers that this group gives me a nice flock to work with.

Beautiful scovys!
Neat behavior from original male scovy when letting him back in with the two new ladies of his. he went right for food bucket and wagged his tail so hard and fast as ate and made happy sounds. never seen my scovys act so gun dog tard happy. just recent switched to dumor layer for females starting to look worn, from dumor grower/finisher.

this is my only girl ducky, her name is daisy. she is sitting on her first eggies, she has 16 of them! they will hatch in 18 days or less!

this is napoleon (nappy for short) he is super-sweet little boy and let's me hug him all the time! he is mentally retarded though. he let's anyone pet him, even strangers so I have to protect him 24/7. he hates the water, so I took a picture when he got in because it's a rare occasion when nappy goes swimming in our pond! I throw floating waterfowl food in the water and he eats it with the fishies!


I also have 1 other boy duckie but I don't have a recent photo of him.

My Muscovies finally laid their first egg of this year today. I have 6 ducks and 1 drake.

This is a photo of it compared with one of my light sussex's eggs
