Title: Ducklings have hatched!
Post by: Brijjy on January 30, 2012, 10:17:26 am

I didn't think she'd hatch them off at this time of year but the muscovy duck has hatched off at least 5 babies! Not only that another muscovy is sitting and hers are due off in a weeks time. Has anyone else got mad poultry that thinks spring has sprung already?

I'll try and get some on tomorrow. When I had a look under her she attacked my arm and wouldn't let go! I think the police should have broody muscovies instead of alsations as attack dogs  :D

One of my quail decided to sit and hatch in Oct/Nov which is especially odd as they don't usually go broody at all!
