Unless the Muscovy male has enough females (5-6) he will most likely bother your chickens. It won't be just the hens that he'll pick on, he'll try to breed anything fowl. ..and yes if he doesn't kill the chickens he will damage their backs because of the claws that he possesses.

I tend to agree. I am hesitant to mix ducks and chickens. I sometimes mix turkeys and chickens, but I have had toms kill a roo before. If you want muscovies, it would be better to buy a few ducklings and raise them up so you get both sexes.
 
The way I make sauerkraut is to shred your cabbage. Then stuff it in a quart jar..... and stuff stuff stuff. Let a small space at top of Jar (only fill to right under the ring) Push it down in. Use a wooden spoon to Push down through the middle making a'tunnel'. Put one tsp of salt in middle. Pour boiling water over till cabbage is covered. Wash rim of jar and immediately put on your flat and ring. Screw it on really tight. Will be ready to eat in a couple weeks. No waterbathing involved. Most people really like it. Gotten lots of compliments. And its easy. The lid will actually get tight from the fermenting process but will bulge up rather than down. And you want lids tight because if not the air can get in and they will eventually spoil. To make it ferment faster you let the lid a bit loose for a couple days but I forget how long as I've never done it that way.

Here's a new one.....was out working on my second pen and put my coffee on the picnic table....well, one of the roosters was drinking my cold coffee.....
 
That is funny, Stake.


In four years, I have not had to deal with this. I am upset, but .. Not. The tears won't come, but I

You guys know.
I have four dead birds in my run. I don't know how, I don't know what. I saw them when I was getting ready to put the hose back. I had to walk around some doves (those birds think they are part of my flock) and saw the bodies out of the corner of my eye. I didn't see them sooner because the other birds were blocking them when I was opening the run.
I have to go back out, but I couldn't deal with it yet. There were too many flies, so I can't practice processing. The three SPR boys (one was looking good for keeping) and a blue pullet are the victims. I think.

I am waiting on three eggs to hatch in the house out of 16. A shortage of birds I do not have.
 
Well folks...from my last hatch, thought I had one CCL hatch....when 'she' dried off she isn't CCL but OE, she has the eyeliner and a black dot on her head.....interesting genetics...BCM boy over CCL girl.....seems some wheaten has gotten into the mix.....
