Muscovy Ducklings; New life on the Homestead

by | Sep 17, 2016 | Livestock | 0 comments

After countless attempts and various techniques, one of our Muscovy Ducks has hatched out two new ducklings.

Muscovy ducks require an incubation time of about thirty-five days. It’s a taxing and restless time for the duck as she must protect the eggs, whilst keeping them at 100º for the entire cycle. Our little momma has done a fabulous job keeping these eggs protected.

Rich is the reward.

The Muscovy Duck can be a strange duck indeed. They are incredibly personable, pursuing one around like as a puppy dog. This specific drake is no exception.
