Chris that's great news.

Chris that's great news.

I agree!
I've been feeling a bit guilty keeping it around, but it's staying alive on it's own power. I think at this point I would feel guilty for not giving it a fair chance.

I'm always slow to make the cull decision.

Thank goodness for giving them a fighting chance!! That’s awesome Chris!!

Time for some Scovy pics!
I'm pretty sure the blue fawns are my most favorite color.

I suppose that's kinda a LOT of pics, but ya know........ You can never have too many pics of ducks, can you?

Thanks for the pictures! Of the colors I've seen so far (yours and others) I like the chocolates thre best for Scovies. I like chocolate on a lot of birds, but Scovies seem to get nice deep and creamy colors.
20 more babies huh? Looks like next seasoned going to have lots of slaughtering to do. How old do you harvest scovies usually?

Hi Trim!
I like the chocolate ones a lot, too.
They're probably my second favorite of the colors I currently have now.

I usually butcher them at 15 weeks. Sometimes I butcher them a little older or a little younger then that, but for the most part I do them at 15 weeks. I think I'll have approximately 85-90 Muscovies to butcher this year. Food, eh.
