They will not be hatched out for about 35 days after she starts to sit on them. I'll ke…
David, I'll still be looking. the one female who lays, has stopped, maybe it's the colder weather, but I do want more muscovies.

New arrivals
We let one of our females sit on what I originally thought was 2 eggs, turned out it was 5. Well about 4 weeks ago we had four of the 5 hatch. We now have 3 yellow and 1 brown duckling added to the collection. they are growning so fast!

The ducks loved the irrigation
boy did they enjoy it when we got irrigation yesterday!!! I don't think they have ever seen that much water. Looked like they really had a good time being ducks.

- Karl,
Thanks! Sorry to nag. I can deal with him for another two weeks or so, but my 5 year old Great Nephew is coming to visit then. I do not want to risk that.

What have you heard about the duck butchering? Would love to get Errol out of here and get one of your hens in. Let me know what works for you.
