The eggs are still in the nest. I’m shocked they have not been eaten. I also have not witnessed my big boys gaining up on her. They seem to protect her more than anything. We have a weird dynamic here. We have 5 males total and 2 are stuck like glue to each other. I’m thinking they are...

She has two large male Muscovy body guards so I’m wondering if it was a mating injury. Another thought is she placed her nest where she could easily be cornered by a predator. She has abandoned the nest so I’m wondering if she was injured there. I keep hoping to see her putting some weight on...

Thank you! She is still the same today but I will keep checking on her. Do you know if a broken leg will heal on its own with time or could this possibly be the end for her?

Thank you! Just hearing that makes me feel better! I don’t want to cause her any undo stress. She seems content and we had a few others that have had issues and they cleared up. Honestly the thought of catching her terrifies me 😂. Thank you for responding so fast and giving me some peace.

I took a video of her today when she came up. I’m not sure why I’m stressing over this little neighborhood Muscovy. Can you give me your thoughts?

Thank you! That puts my mind at ease.

She has been lame for 2 days. Still eating and hoping around. She is not a pet so handling her would take some work😊. Any thoughts on if this leg is sprained or broken? She does have a male partner so wondering if he just got too rough with her.

We have a Muscovy at our pond that has a nest and an injured leg. Is it best to just let her be? She hops around, swims, eats etc. She just kind of drags the bad foot.
