I'm sort of lucky to be living in central Florida and my girls, one by one, started laying in February and the very first egg of the year was fertile. I just had hatchlings this evening and I put them in with my 5 day old ducklings and it is simply amazing to see the size difference in just 5 days! So far out of 150+ eggs, I've had six candle clear. Now that does not mean I will hatch all that are good, but I hatch a good percentage of them and always feel disappointed when one doesn't hatch. I have one drake for every 3-4 ducks, so fertility has been very good.

Anyone that thinks all Muscovys are ugly ducks has a very closed mind. Now I will say that I have seen some UGLY Muscovy ducks (IMO), but these White ones are as pretty as can be.

These are such cute birds. I had a male a while ago and I loved him, he was awesome. My family and I went to Florida in March and there were Muscovies all around the resort. They were so tame.

Still no babies, but any day now ! I really want to find someone around here that has some chocolate muscovies.

Ahh I got some babies for Easter from my hubby they are soo cute! these are my first muscovies, and they have been angels so far...I cannot believe how quiet they are! I've had mallards and pekins before and they were so noisy compared to these babies.

They are in the temporary brooder while I clean out the big one...sorry my iPad doesn't take very good pics. :/
