I had a few Muscovy ducks in the past, but this one got me worry. It is almost 10 weeks old and the wing feathers are barley growing. There is a lot of fuzz on the wings still, but feathers grew out everywhere else on the body. The few Muscovy ducks I had in the past, the wing feathers seem to...
I got a new duck yesterday and I wonder if it is a male. The lady I bought it from say it is, but I have to make it is because that is what I wanted. The duckling hatched on 4/29. Here is a picture of it.
Here is its big feet.
What is the biggest and heaviest show quality geese you guys ever heard? I always wonder what is the record breaking weight and size for domestic geese is. I do wonder there is a such thing of a 40lb goose.
I wonder if you guys ever experienced this? After 9 weeks, my 2 muscovies act like they are scared of me and run away. They acting like I am going to eat them or something. A week ago, they were not scared of me at all. The same thing happened with the other muscovies I use to have a while back...
I am wondering, how much do 8 week normally weigh. My muscovies are going to be 8 weeks old in a few days and they seem to gain a lot of weight pretty fast and starting to grow like a weed. A few days ago, they both weigh 4 lbs each. Now my white one weighs 4.6 lbs and my dark one weigh 4.2 lbs...
I am wondering if I am able to tell the sex of an Muscovy duckling by voice. They are around 7 weeks I believe. The white one makes a loud chirp sound more then my other one. It also makes the cute cooing sound. It also a little bitter then the other one. I am going to wait a week before I post...
I been wondering if my white Muscovy is a drake. It has a big chest and it has a big behind. He/she
is also nice and soft. The white one is name Pinky and the other one is name the Brain. They are about 6 or 7 weeks old.
I been wonder when the voices of the male muscovies start to change and they start to make the funny huffing and hissing sound. I got a couple of them and I believe one of them is a male because it is bigger then the other one. I just love the sound they make and when they wag their tails.
I have to sell my goose right away. I am moving and can't take it with me. It is straight run, so I don't know the gender. I am in the San Francisco bay area.
I been wondering, is it true that is someone gets hit by the wings of an angry
goose it hurts more then getting bit. I been getting bit a lot lately by my
young embden gander, the nibbling phase. Getting bit hurts bad enough, I can't
imagine the wings hurting more then the bite. It seems...
I am new to geese. My Embden gander is 9 weeks old, but he is growing big. He is a little over 2 feet tall and weigh 8.6lbs. Is that normal for a gander at this age. How tall are your Embden geese? I wonder he supose to be full grown at 14 weeks, those books are confusing at times.
I bought these 2 Muscovy ducks last month, but I don't know the gender of these ducks. One is slightly bigger then the other. They were hatched on the second of April. Here is some pictures of my ducks.
On March 25th, I bought my duck at a swap meet. She is so cute. I am guessing she was about 2 weeks old. She bonded with me pretty fast and follows me around the place. She has grown amazing fast the last couple of weeks. She is my first duck. Here is a picture of her. I wonder how many weeks...
I have a few questions about the American Buff. I see a lot of conflicting information when it comes to their weight. The Metzer Farms say their American Buffs weight 16-18lbs for ganders. Several other websites say they are in that weight range. Then all my books and a lot of websites say they...
I wonder what breed this goose is? I was walking around the lake the other day and saw about 5 of these geese. They were the strangest and fattest geese I ever seen. They were also very friendly and I was able to pet them. Their neck feathers were very soft and they were so darn cute.
I am looking to get a Muscovy Drake, just one. I have been having a lot of bad luck and frustrations trying to get one. The hatcheries requires a minimum, but I am a renter and the landlord say I can have have one, but only one. Getting a ducking is out of the question with California Hatchery...
Hi all, this seems like a really cool forum. I am on a quest to get an Muscovy duck and in hope to get one soon. I love them lots. I am from the west bay in the Bay area in CA.
