Laura Plaut is collecting orders for bulk organic chicken feed. She is a TW member so you can send her a message if you want to order some. The more orders we have in our little chicken food co-op, the better.

They prefer more, (they really liked swimming in the pond) but as long as they can wash themselves can get by with less. I guess 6 inches is about what i give them. I'm not filling it too much in case a baby duck falls in. they can drown I understand. I save most of the water for fertilizing plants.

Do you find that your Muscovies are fine with the few inches of water in the kids pool? I use a mini-kids pool for my two Khaki's but I fill it for them. This results in a fair amount of water use in the summer, when I need to change it every week to 10 days - ducks being the messy lovable critters that they are. I do have it set up so that when I empty it the water runs through my orchard but it's still a lot of water. Maybe I'm spoiling them?

to Krista,

Our muscovies use a child's plastic wading pool with a few inches of water. The babies use a rubbermaid lid. We have a pond but 2 were snatched by predators (coyote or eagle) on the way to the pond so we keep them behind a fence now.

Jamie: Inspiration Farm is having a poultry processing workshop in september. I am going to attend with or without my birds and learn! Never done it before.

Ron and Cathy, we were contemplating muscovies awhile back. I'm curious about water needs. I'm told they don't need much (and we don't have much). What do yours use?
