3 today from 3 Muscovy hens. It's been 1 - 2 - 1 -2 a day for a while. Spats, I estimate has laid around 200 eggs this year. The other 2 around 175. Too many eggs to deal with, inconvenient to find nests and collect. They seem to be in a long molt stage. This is Lu-roy with a new nest on...
0 at last! Then I read Ms Lydia that some of her ducks start up laying again in early fall after their molt. 2 of my ladies laid around 160+- eggs, and 1 around 180+- this yr. these Muscovy just turned 1yr old. Eee ho lay, it's not convenient to collect their eggs from their island, and a fat...
5 at 11am today since 7am yesterday from 3 Muscovy hens. Since last Thur, 6 days ago; 21 eggs. Question; do they at times lay more than 1 egg in 24 hrs?
By mid-Jan, all 3 were laying daily, 1st 4 eggs discovered Jan 8th. So it's July 31 or 6 1/2 months of steady egg laying. Sure appears...
6 today, 3 from yesterday and 3 this am: so I'm not the only 1 whose ducks continue to lay eggs, good to know!
We'll only have Muscovy's for foreseeable future, but we've more eggs than we can use. Maybe Calls next go around?
2x's groan. . . 6 these last 2 days. These 3 young Muscovy hens have laid 150+ eggs each 2024, not counting the eggs at the bottom of pond. They used to splish/splash and entertain us. Now they just sit around and lay eggs! [the thick Bermuda grows way beyond the island dirt underneath, this...
Groan, I'm still getting 2 eggs a day, occasionally 3. I'm covering their nests, but they just go elsewhere and are getting harder to find. I believe they've all 3 laid 100+ eggs each.
3 today: my 3 Muscovy laid their 200th egg around May 1
I thought they were quitting a while back yet they took a 2 week sabbatical and took up laying again. Most days 3 eggs, once a week or so, just 2 eggs
-0- for the past week. My 3 hens gave up sitting on their nests. They are out on the pond doing silly stuff again and have returned to their old social manners. What the heck? Anyway, I'm dropping off this thread until one of 'em starts laying again. Good golly gosh, what I've learned about...
0 Had to happen. My 3 young 'scovies started laying early, laid their 100th egg in less than 6 weeks. Then 2 eggs on Fri, 1 egg on Sat, and today 2 days later, no eggs. Well, the good news is they don't crave attention like they did a month ago. Plus, they've started going into their pen...
3 a day from my 3 'Scovy for a long time. Their voices changed a few days ago, 7 months old. They make bird eeeyp sounds now and appear to be fussing at me. They take turns sitting on their eggs, or nest if no eggs present. Spats spends more time on eggs or nest than the others. Yesterday...
101 eggs as of 2/18/2024. That's 3 a day from my 3 'Scovy ducks. They started laying in early Jan. at 5 mo. 2 weeks. In 10 days or so they all 3 laid an egg a day. Luckily, they nest within their pen/open air coop and free range during the day. They are easy going, and only curious as they...

Ms Lydia: Ms Kim is now struggling to have fun shopping at Wally World. I'll text her to pick up "Taste of the Wild Appalachian Valley small breed. Thanks
Taste of the Wild has 12 offerings, only 2 with small kibbles; Walmart...
