That knob looks like a female but ur saying male here's a pick of my male and female chinese

It looks more female to me as well. Bruce actually didn't start laying eggs until almost her third year though she was a bit of a late hatch.

I remember some one last year had one of their Muscovy's hatch Goslings gosh was that a sweet pic. My Muscovy duck hatched a Embden goose close to 8 yrs ago.

Hmmm... interesting! Maybe I can convince one of these ladies (or both) to raise me a pair of goslings!

Well if they go broody they would most likely take you up on it. Getting them to go broody is the key here.

I have Muscovy and they go broody at the drop of a hat.

your girls are pretty!
