scarlettohara Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I'm hoping to hear about some chocolate muscovy ducks that are due to hatch this weekend, however if they don't does any one know of any breeders nearish to Herts? Also can a bantam orpington hatch duck eggs ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chortle Chook Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I know that Acorn Nursery did have some of these 'marmite' ducks but I'm not sure if they have had any this year as I think they had problems with people returning them saying that they were not quite 'like other ducks'. But they might know a source. Also, have you tried the Domestic Waterfowl Club of Great Britain ? They have such a nice page on them, calling them 'clowns in feathers' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I've just found this very nice place near Pangbourne, Reading that do very pretty lavender and white Muscovy ducks (they seem to have a pair) Motherhen's Poultry You'll need to look near the bottom of the page that this link takes you to.

Mayo Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 If you fancy a trip in the opposite direction, I can recommend www.angliawildfowl.co.uk who are based near Needham Market in Suffolk. They often have Muscovies, and a myriad other tempting creatures, and the owner, Nick Willis, is very knowledgeable and equally nice. Mx.
