Muscovy keepers share your pics!

[yo burrill]

Mine are only closed up at night, during the day they are outside and can come and go as they please. Try and give them places where they can get out of the wind, hunker down under or behind something. We even put up a tarp at the front of our wood shed so them and the chickens can get behind it and out of the harsh cold wind. watch for frost bite on their carnucles usually it's the drakes that can get it. You can use vaseline on their carnucles when it gets really frigid. Tractors are open on all sides right? is there some way you can close in all but one side the south side. They need fresh air and being open on the south side would give them fresh air but the wind wouldn't be blowing on them .

My tractor has a closed in house on one side and an open pen on the other. They seem to be happy in that house for the night but the pen part is not big enough for them to stretch their wings out. I did let them out to free range a few days ago seems Howard figured out he can still fly . ( I hate clipping wings, they cant get away from the dogs and foxes that way) They found the dog house (the giant well made dog house that neither dog will use) the other day I am hoping they decide they like that so I can have the tractor back for the lil' fuzzy butts next spring. And yes they have plenty of "junk" in the yard they can get under that's for sure!!

Thank you!!

Daisy says she misses everyone here!
She has been molting & not very happy to be picked up so I've been letting her just hang out in her room & in the shower.
She now has a white head!

We have missed you both, hope all is well besides the molting. Daisy will be beautiful when finished. [Shes changing so much] isn't it amazing.

The breeder said these would be meaty, but I may just keep them as breeding stock.

I understand Muscovy is excellent meat, I for one keep them for bug control and pets, and they make me laugh and give me much joy.

Mine were being sold as meat birds! I could never eat them though!!!!!! That's why I call them my Lucky Ducks
