The hen is quite the quacker. The drake is pretty persistent in mating the muscovies, chasing them around the yard, pinning them to the ground, finishing his deed in 2 seconds and flop right off. I thought ducks mated on water. Apparently, he's got this figured out on land.
My flock get to free range day and night. I found it creepy when I 1st noticed them stalking/patrolling the yard at night. I've gotten use to it, now I find it amusing.
Guess what?! My 1 thai hen escaped from the incident. After 6 nights, she ended up on my back porch with my remaining swedish duck hen! I am just amazed that she found her way back home! On our security cameras, we saw her escaping the backyard and running off in the front! My husband thinks...

I was given 2 chicks and 2 ducklings mid May 2016, they were probably 3ish weeks old. They are a good 2months old now. From pictures of other chickens, they seem to resemble the Thai's, am I right. The cock hasn't started crowing. I live in city limits, has anyone had success in the crowing...
