has scrambles growled again
Yup. She definitely is a bird of a different feather. Doesn't listen, doesn't lay eggs, sings the "egg" song AFTER she eats the egg, runs away, doesn't like to get pet, growls, is greedy, yup - the perfect pet!
Here's a pic of her worship.
(At least she thinks she's special. A special *what* we'll probably never know.)

I think that breed is Muscovy. Roosters are a lot meaner than drake ducks. You really needed a bobcat for him. Male ducks will also kill all the babies (their babies) if given a chance. I had some ducks and the drake killed all 8 of the 1/3 grown babies one morning for no reason whatsoever.
Back to reality - I let Scrambie and her two friends out today for some grass. They ate the whole lawn.
Yes, they are delicious. Nasty, dirty critters too. The chickens are much less work than owning a duck.
Muscovy hens aren’t exactly the friendliest coop mates either. The two I had would latch on to the chickens with their beaks and not let go. Poor hens would drag ‘em around the coop. When the Muscovy hens were out, they’d try to mate with our tame bunnies. I didn’t care for the bird’s dry, greasy meat much at all (as that’s how they ended up, cooked).
