Hi I am a newbie to this thread. Have been a Muscovy owner for going on two years now. My first three were hand-raised and quite pesty, following us around the yard taking siestas on our deck.

Our flock likes to hang out outside on the balcony.



Brutis is turning out to be a beautiful bird. I think he knows it.

He looks very proud of himself.

Here are some of mine, we only get around 2 hrs of sun a day during this time of the year being on the north side of the mountain, so they have a short time frame daily to soak up some rays.

Tux with Rueben in the background, my two original drakes
Some of my draklings from Rueben and Daisy's hatch (her second brood this year)....she brooded twelve ducklings. I have five drakes looking for new homes still

One drake is a black pied and a large duplicate of his mama, the other four are white headed blacks much like Rueben, though one is the older adopted duckling, Martin. Our ducklings have all had red caruncling and white beaks with a black "bean" whereas our adopted ducklings have mottled red and black caruncles and mottled beaks.
These were a pair of chocolate ducks, Julia and Ernie (from our first hatch) and Junior, a beautiful smoky blue drake in the rear. Julia and Ernie went with our black barred drakeling (above photo) and Gretel (the chocolate duck below sleeping) to new homes this summer.


Here is some "eye candy" for you, lol. The duclair pied drake is Tux *RIP* He was humanely euthanized after a large mass was discovered in his abdomen this spring. He was one of my hand-raised originals and his personality and beauty is sorely missed. Ernie was his daughter, out of Daisy, our black pied duck (not pictured). The blue drake and other chocolate duck, Julia were purchased as youngsters when Ernie's sibling, Bert, was lost to a predator shortly after hatch out. I felt so bad for Ernie being alone that I bought her some siblings. Little did I know at the time, that ducks do NOT adopt ducklings and so Ernie was raised with the adoptees, Junior, Martin and Julia and made their own juvenile flock.

He sure is! The song "I'm sexy and I know it" should be his entrance song
