I would like to know where you got yours to begin with. I have only found one hatchery and their prices are way beyond my reach. I can find the white ones, but I prefer the Pied like you have.

[@vineyardchickshomestead]

We found our ducks at a local farm. We got them as adults, so I don’t know what hatcheries have them. Sorry I can’t be of more help, but thank you!

[@SusanRogersMakingItWork4Me]

I grew up with Muscovy ducks on our farm, I love them!

[@vineyardchickshomestead]

Thank you for commenting Ms Susan! They are beautiful animals and quiet, even if you don't live on a farm they make great pets! Thanks again! -Trie

[@vineyardchickshomestead]

Hello Ms. Rogers. My iPad ran out of charge while I was answering a question about Muscovy and now I can't find it. I think you had asked where we bought our Muscovy and I was trying to say craigslist when it shut down. We bought them in winter and we paid less for adults than for hatchlings, so I recommend Craigslist and waiting til off season. We have an Etsy store and could send you 6 Muscovy eggs instead of chicken eggs if you like but you would need an incubator. Please excuse this comment if it was not your question that I am answering. So sorry but thank you for watching our video!! -Trie

[@vineyardchickshomestead]

Thank you. We love the muscovy ducks. They are quite and they have a fun waddle. Blessings

[@bigcurtchop]

Are they quite

[@vineyardchickshomestead]

Muscovy are very quiet. When agitated they can make a hissing sound. It is not very loud but you can hear it. It sound sort of like the soft th sound when saying thread. They are by far the most quiet animal we own.

[@faithridriguezable1]

Can muscovies cross with other breeds? I've seen ninnies but idk for khaki campbells

[@vineyardchickshomestead]

Hello!! Muscovy Ducks are not really ducks. Their hatch times are very different than ducks or chickens. Some say they are distant cousins of geese and our Amish friends call them swamp turkeys. It would be interesting to see if they could be crossed with geese or turkeys, though.

[@kamauwikeepawikk9520]

Yes they can and do.

[@vineyardchickshomestead]

Kamau WikeepaWikk We would love to see more about this. I know the egg gestation times are longer for Muscovy ducks and we've never seen any cross breeding in our vineyard. We'd love to see pictures!

[@Valdabois]

Yes but the ducklings are born sterile

[@JESUSSavesWAKEUP]

@@faithridriguezable1 they become sterile if mixed

[@bambangsuharyanto4071]

Oh y. Sumpah lo

[@Valdabois]

What's the age of ur oldest muscovy

[@vineyardchickshomestead]

We lost our older Muscovy ducks to a coyote last year. It was awful. Our oldest now is about 3 years old.

[@Valdabois]
