the drakes have a harder time taking off once they get their adult weight.. the girls don't have that issue.. course since we pinion no one is flying anywhere!

Mine are all heritage .. the eggs will hatch mixed breed colours since I have all of them in together right now..

If you have an incubator I can send you some eggs in a few weeks... I sent Melissa Rose some last year and she had a pretty good hatch

I wish I had an incubator! If I did I would be getting eggs left and right from people xD easier to ship eggs than baby chicks.

Nope.. you don't NEED a pond
I give mine a kiddie pool during the summer.. two if I have a lot of waterfowl.. they do muddy it up.. so it has to be cleaned pretty often.. but they enjoy it.

My muscovys can't roost in trees because I pinion their wings (required by law unless they are banded with a solid band or tattooed)
But my muscovys aren't as fond of the water anyway as the other ducks and geese that we have

during the winter I just give mine pans of water.. big enough to bathe in.. but won't make as much of a muddy mess when I dump them and clean them out

no, prolly wouldnt want alot...but thats what i needed to see! thanks! ducks and turkeys are the next 2 on the checklist

I personally want to get two or three muscovys for the eggs. never had duck eggs before but I heard they are good. That and I can try and make some art out of the egg shells.

My hubby put his foot down about ducks and geese. He doesn't do it very often - he hates to tell me no. But, apparently he hates the idea of ducks and geese more than he does telling me no.

Anyone around the Longview area with Americaunas/Easter Eggers?? Looking to add some color to my eggs
Thanks

lol, well, I did hear that ducks are quite messy, truth be told. So I am still a little hesitant about getting some. I really love the look of scovys, but I think I might wait till I have more room for them.

I just realized - I've spent absolutely the entire day on BYC and totally ignored work.

I mean - totally ignored work. Um....ooopsy?

But, hey - I made a new welcome image!

I love it!
