My Muscovy Drake is lonely....

[Batty about Banties]

I have but the lone ranger.....one male muscovy who lives with my 6 hens and Roo the rooster. They currently live at the in-laws but FIL isnt keen on getting anymore ducks. Suggestions on getting him some gal pals and sneaking them in?

Also will everybody get along? How do duck eggs taste?

I am a total novice when it comes to ducks so any advice or information would be awesome!

Since Muscovies also survive in wild populations and fly- maybe some girls could just " fly in one day" and stay around.

Get a trusted friend to drop them off at a time when you take the family out for dinner - or just out for the day...and FIL may never suspect it was all a concocted plot to get more ducks.

What a terrible thing to suggest to you.... But it could just work.

Lol, I am contemplating a plan as we speak. On the phone with little sister...thinking she will "gift" me a couple gals for Easter!!! What do you think?!

FIL said "Yes". The gals I am looking for are already grown...any advice or comments on getting grown ducks vs. ducklings? Keep in mind I already have an adult drake.
