Not a lot to report. The muscovies I picked up have grown quickly. Still ducklings, but big enough to run with the big birds. They adapted quickly, and are not nearly as afraid of me as before. I also picked up two more geese: a male Pilgrim, and a female mix. The male is bigger than any other gander I have, and he isn't even full grown. The two have integrated easily and quickly, no drama. I also lucked out with three new female Indian Runners, all from the same guy giving away the geese. It seems the city of Hayward does not approve of livestock in residential areas. His loss, my gain.
There is an new outdoor aviary, now being used to house the mean bastard geese that killed the ducks. This is the "finishing room". For fattening that is. A co-worker has a pate recipe, and I have the main ingredient. Will let you know how it tastes.
