Muscovy keepers share your pics!

[Miss Lydia]

I will!! I have 3 almost 9wk old females; Pekin, KC & a Magpie. I love my girls dearly, but Muscovies have always been my favs. We had farm ducks when I was little & some were Muscovies. My fav of them was a Muscovy who was the best mother of any animal I've ever seen. She died of old age yrs ago, but I've always loved & admired her.

They sure have a way of waddling right on in don't they. Have we seen your 9week olds?

Okay y'all so this is my work today

I'm gonna fill the back part with sand but leave the front part alone , I let the girls out and my Tweens out, but two girls are staying in because of their nest which is great becuase I would hate for them to leave those eggs ( p.s I don't let older males in the pen because I don't want them to hurt the juveniles)

But the males like these juveniles because their the fathers of the babies , but my older males that aren't the dad's just leave them alone because they are always guarded

I saw some little blood vessels in the Muscovy eggs! Woot! My hen is staying on those eggs and has only left once or twice to take care of business. I'm so excited!

June 7th is the estimated hatch date. Can't wait!

No, bc they are not Muscovy, but here they are

They sure are pretty. I like the way they can walk down the ramp take a left or right depending on which way their headed and get right into the pool or swimming hole .

Where did you get that nice size tub?

Okay so I put the sand in and it worked out great it absorbed all the extra water from the rain and the cage is much cleaner
