He looks gorgeous. Did you get him from Craigslist? There are quite a few free roosters posted on CL here but I don't want roosters. And I'm pretty sure the free chick I received is a cockerel.
We used to have a beautiful RIR rooster but he got mean. First he attacked my dog, then me and when he attacked my son that was the end of the mean rooster.

Also fyi@Bruce pulled pork for dinner tonight . I put dry rub on the pork shoulder last night. Since I don't have a smoker and I don't have any smoked ham hocks this time, I added a couple pieces of smoked pork chops in the crockpot with the pork shoulder to cook all day today. I normally add in a cup of beer but no beer this time so I added some whiskey. So we'll see...

Muscovy are so smart! They have a really unique personality if hand raised, at least the females do. Males so hormone driven!!! They are excellent mothers and I have had them hatch 20 to 30 at a time. Considering how large eggs are they do ok for production IF you can keep them from being broody. They are not descended from European mallard lines like other domestic breeds, but will cross to produce sterile offspring. Here in mild winters of eastern TN they would hatch off March to October.

that's RIR for you. They are full of attitude. I got rid of my hens because they were so mean to my other chickens.... these guys are super laid back it seems. We'll see how it goes...

Got a five year old nanny goat today. Paid $25 for her. Her name is Grandma. She is a boer/Nubian cross. A little fat. Super heavy. But first thing she did was put our obnoxious Billy in his place. I'll try and get pics tomorrow....

2 1/2 hour drive there and back to go pick this bad boy up but we now have a new coop! Really needed it.... it's a 4x8 shed but after a few retro fits and a run added it will be a lovely new home for my chickens! Not bad since we just had to put the gas in to pick it up!

Where is the coffee? I am seeing double ATM. Feel like I'm hungover but it's lack of sleep. That drive whooped me good!
