My drakes are not aggressive at all, just really horny in the spring and relentlessly on the hens! So much fun to have around though, fun to watch, great bug and...

    I agree, I am in Oconomowoc, and I think heavy insulation is overrated, if your coop is tucked away from open winds I think that venting is the key. I haave found that in a really severe cold snap a few strategically placed stops -- still vent... does the trick. I created screened windows...

    Experienced Northern Muscovy Keepers - I need help!

    Yes I can build them a duck house, just wasn't sure if they need to be kept warm or not. We also have some sheltered areas in the chicken coop run area. I thought that flying would help keep them safe from predators, right now two go up in the tree as soon as evening sets in and I cannot get...

    Considering getting a muscovy

    One duck not matter what kind is just too sad, you need two at least so they can flock together.

    Muscovy ducklings, can I put them in the same penned area and coop with my four pullets?

    Hi, I just got 6 muscovy ducklings (maybe few weeks old) and I have 4 pullets that are about 3-4 months old. Right now I have the ducklings in a chicken tractor and a cage indoors at night. I was hoping to lock them in the chicken coop with my four pullets when they get a little older to keep...
