The Muscovy females have been outside at night the past week, now that they know how to fly. They have been perching in a tree as they would in the wild. I couldn't get them down and so let it go. And so they've been outside all day when I'm at the office, because, well, I can't catch them easily in the mornings.
Today I came home and I see only Sally. Cannibal is gone. Probably a hawk got her. So that I don't lose another, I chased Sally for 20 minutes until she was so tired she couldn't get away. She's now safely cooped up and will soon get her wings clipped.
This is one of the silkies, now two weeks old:
