Thank you for your helpful responses.
I’m thinking I may need to rehome both separately. A pity as I love them both. The male was dumped here and has only learnt to swim since his arrival. We thought we were going to have to rescue and revive him the first time he fell in the pond! Now he...
I’m not sure I understand the “they don’t mate” comment. Does that mean they are group social rather than selecting and bonding with an individual mate?
No we don’t want more. I only got the hen because it seemed wrong for him to be alone.
I’d appreciate you explaining why one hen may be a problem…

Thank you, I would prefer not to but we may have to. He’s a really big old boy and a bully to all the ducks in the pond (mainly mallards).
I wondered about trimming his wings so he can’t fly which would be a pity as he looks quite magnificent.
Aloha,
Our Muscovy male has chased our lovely Muscovy girl to the other side of the 60 acre plus pond we live by and won’t let her return to feed. Neither have clipped wings.
Suggestions please 🙏
