they have hige claws. i have scars to prove it. but i don't mind. it hurts a lot, but holding them is worth it. i never pick my drake up unless i put him in the pen. he jumps in the tub on his own. he's such a sweet boy!!

My white mussie boys are push overs

(they came from GoatWalker), Instead of eating from a feed bowl they want me to hand feed them from the feed bucket and I pet them all over...they follow me while I am feeding others from pen to pen eating out of the bucket...they are awesome

I don't have any Scovy's right now but I do have 6 eggs that are due to hatch next Monday. I'm so excited!

I have Calls, Pekins, Runners, and a Cayuga but these will be my first Muscovy's!

You should see my arms! I was holding my drake Goonie and he wanted to get back into the bathtub - ripped my wrist and arm open. Next day I was called to the office because one of the teachers thought i was "cutting"

They have cat claws!

I am so glad you are enjoying them

I sold the other two extra boys i had and wished afterwards that I had kept Lance - he sat in my lap for three hours - falling asleep as I pet him. I didnt even know he was that sweet till I sold him! But he went to a good home so its alright, lol

The head bobbing isn't creepy...its CUTE! Mine carries full conversations by head bobbing and tail wagging. They do hiss, but she has the most adorable coo and is mostly quiet. Quiet enough to occasionally sneak into the house without being noticed.

They are smart. Sometimes too smart for their own good. Daisy will play fetch with a cat ball. At dusk she rounds up the Pekin and gets them both in bed. She knocks on the back door to get attention. She will also look in the windows to find which room of the house I am in. You can't tell me that isn't adorable.

As far as caruncles, well, its a face only a mother could love. I just think of it as make up. Not saying that I love my Pekin any less, but there is just something special about Muscovies

Need more proof? Watch my girl playing ball for the first time.
