Muscovy keepers share your pics!

Tanny was a very lucky find, she was so covered with mud I wasn't sure what color she really was but felt bad and figured it wouldnt hurt adding another hen. I have a little Blue Fawn boy right now that I am hoping to breed with her later on, she is kind of a tan-buff color... very different. She's mature so I don't suspect she will change her color much more either. She will be Fatty's girl until the little guy is old enough though

If my ducks got near one of my dogs my dog would kill them in a second. theyve learned to stay away and if they get trapped they will usually wait till i come out and they follow my back to the barn

Just bought these yesterday. I am new to ducks but we have lots of chickens and rabbits. I love all animals.

I don't know how old they are or anything. All I know is that I have 9 hens and 1 drake.

Nice group of Scovies you have there, BarefootMom.

Good looking drake!

I'm new to muscovies and I've heard of fertility problems. What is the best Hen to Drake ratio to guarantee fertile eggs?

 

[Bleenie]

I love that Blue Fawn drake BarefootMom

I've never had fertility problems with my boys, unless they were sick. I have always had 2 breeding boys and up to 18 hens.... and WAY too many babies sometimes, lol. They are difficult to hatch in the incubator though, maybe that's what you are thinking of?

KD is getting SO moody!

I think the egg i had to give her from the incubator is getting close to hatching.
