Sometimes I'm not sure if muscovies even know how dangerous the cold is hahaha! The girls like to perch on the balcony and deck rail when they refuse to go to bed, it takes a lotta persistence to get em to finally go into the coop

Update: Cheese has been deployed! I put him in the coop and put the hanging feeder and some fresh water back in for them today. I don't think he was happy to leave the warmer house but he was excited to see his family :) Him and his sister Burger kept wagging their tails and head bobbing...

He's doing good, his chest is dry and the frozen clumps of bedding on his wing tips had thawed enough that Cheese was able to kinda clean it off himself. I've decided to keep him indoors just for tonight. I let the birds out at 8am every day and that's when I'll bring him out. Then tomorrow...

Okey! I'm gonna refill his little drinking water feeder since he drank all what I gave him earlier. I'll check to see how dry he is then. I'd rather be safe than sorry with letting him out too soon, you know? Keeping him out of water will be easy once he sees where his family likes to huddle...

As of the moment the ice clumps on his chest have melted enough to where they fell off when he was preening. And the stuff frozen to the tips of his wings are still there. Currently he's sleeping but he's been eating/drinking normal :) I was thinking of keeping him inside for the rest of the...

Oh my gosh I didn't even think about that! I was originally thinking of giving him a warm bath so he could clean himself and warm up at the same time. I'm glad I stuck with the crate idea! We usually just leave our hanging feeder in there overnight, and only in the winter we keep shallow...

Hello all, I had made a previous post about this same duck a little while back about his droopy wings, but this is a different issue now. I wasn't sure if I should add on to that prev thread or make a new one, my apologies if I did this wrong! Cheese the muscovy drake now has ice frozen to...

That's adorable 😊 I've noticed every morning when I let everyone outta the coop mom, dad, and Burger will fly around the yard while Cheese will run and flap his wings trying to catch up. Once the rest of the family lands they walk back to him to meet him halfway for today's morning shenanigans

@Miss Lydia @ruthhope Will do on an update!! The chickens usually take all the treats before the ducks get to em so no worries about that hahaha Thank you for your input!!! I appreciate it!!

Yes he does try lifting/putting them back into place, but they do end up sliding back downwards. Will this stay until his muscles get stronger then? I'll be sure to keep an eye on him, in the meantime is there anything I can do to help him out or is it jsut a matter of waiting for the wings to...

Hello all! Hope I'm doing this right :) I've noticed one of my young ducks both of it's wings have been drooping, to the point where the tips will drag on the ground when it walks around. I think this has been going on for almost a week now (I haven't been home enough to notice and no one else...
