Hi subhanalah. You´re not wrong, there´s just confusion. Chicks 21 days. Ducklings, 28 days. Goslings 28 -30+ days, muscovies 35 days.
me too....that's why I'm positively glued to this thread.Hi subhanalah. You´re not wrong, there´s just confusion. Chicks 21 days. Ducklings, 28 days. Goslings 28 -30+ days, muscovies 35 days.
I always find it so strange that muscovies take so much longer.
And I cannot believe that that these eggs will hatch out a goose-duck hybrid.
Me too. The female is going to lay eggs even if she is not breeding. The breeding may stimulate the laying of eggs. The claim that they are absolutely fertilized I question. It will be interesting to see what happens.And I cannot believe that that these eggs will hatch out a goose-duck hybrid.
I know that she will lay completely regardless of a male being present......But her eggs she layed recently were indeed fertile.....The germinal disk in the yolk was very clearly visible and white.......a trait of a fertile egg.....Sure the ones she is sitting on now may not be, but almost all the ones prior were....If these ones dont hatch, I will be incubating the rest my self
Seen this before, the duck/goose is very pretty! This isn't hard to believe at all, considering the size of an Egyptain goose. Alot of people are doubting me about mine because its a mallardXafrican cross.....But mind you, she is a hatchery goose who isnt to standard size, she is only about 12lbs.....but still....very different and I look forward into this project more and more each day
haha, its very unlikely in most situations,but my two were raised together, and have only ever been with each other.....i have quail and chickens too....but the duck and goose have been together since day 1
