This is our growing flock of Muscovy ducks. Our friends Chris and Elizabeth Coats started us on our Muscovy journey with five ducks – two girls and three drakes. Since then, we’ve added a few here and there. And this summer (August 2016), the first two “native born” (well, hatched) ducks arrived – a beautiful lavender (center, sitting near the post) and a salt-and-pepper (far left, sitting). We supplement with non-GMO feed, sprouted grains, and spent brewing grains now and then, but the ducks are generally free range. They forage around the property, earning their keep by helping to keep the grasshopper population in check. If they’re hungry enough, they’ll eat out of your hand.
