That's a bummer, I bought one of those X hoses last year so I can hook it up to my well since I usually use the spring water but the spring freezes, Using the Xhose helps me get water to all my heated buckets I just can't use the well for pools. Nice things about the Xhose too is after I am through I can get most of the water out of the hose put them down into a bucket bring the bucket inside and not have to deal with frozen hoses. or carry buckets from the house which I did for 9 yrs before I got these hoses. I have buckets with hoses in the house along with buckets of ff It's kinda like having a barn in your house.Yeah my ducks won't be able to have swimming water for a while because now I have to carry water in buckets to the coop
NO and rarely will mate in that fashion, usually that is mallard derived, for instance my Pekin, calls and Buffs prefer this way... many of my muscovies here will never enter deeper water than a puddle.It dropped to -19f here and the 3 muscovies moved themselves back over to the chicken area, for warmth and an overhead shelter. Trouble my littlest muscovy likes to get into the nesting box to sleep.
I think Truffle is done molting, she looks like she is getting much darker. Do the muscovies need water to mate?
it's crazy how long they can hold there breath but that drake I had was not even a year old but somehow managed to drown herThat's too bad, I have watched some of mine thinking one of my drakes would drown one but so far that hasn't happened. But I will vouch for the girls after mating they sure do love a bath.
It is isn't it. Always makes me nervous to watch them mating in the pool but seems the girls know how to handle it.it's crazy how long they can hold there breath but that drake I had was not even a year old but somehow managed to drown her
