Regarding duck flooring, I am all ears. Ducks are adorable but boy are they messy. The Scobee are quite clean for ducks, and mine actually sleep out at night or find their own roosts and nests. They are protected by electric netting. But I also have a shed for my Mallard derived ducks. I'm...

I also use dog crates for introducing birds. Usually airline crates because that's what I have. I did recently introduced to larger groups of docs without any crates. My older docs (9 weeks) are not friendly to individual young ducks (4 weeks) but when there was two larger groups they just by...

That may be too much of an age difference. You may have to keep the Muscovy separate for several weeks.

I took the Muscovy eggs and gave them to a broody hen. She was annoyed with me because I keep on taking her eggs but I know that they're not fertile because none hatch, either with her or in my incubator. None candle. I have had success Incubating eggs from other farms and my own goose eggs. I...

I have two hens nesting in dog crates. One of them is on a huge cluster but I'm going to just let her stay there and see how many hatch out. The other is in a smaller dog house and she pushes some of the eggs out out from under her and some are spilling from that doghouse. I could take them and...

One of my girls has hatched out five duckling so far. I took the first three, that was about two weeks ago and she went back and set on some more eggs and hatched out two more a few days ago. I have four other hens sitting on large clutches. They started at different times but I will soon have...

As of today I have three Muscovy hens on nests, and I am hoping a fourth will start very soon. She had laid one or two eggs in an old dog crate. This morning I added another four or five eggs that I had collected that had been left in various places, I am hoping someone will claim them and start...

Tried that, took forever, stopped process. May need to resize photos, no time now, sorry. I have 90 birds right now, more coming next week, very little time to do anything other then care for birds these days.

Emichels, If you are asking me about my birds, my five older birds, two drakes and three hens, were born early last June. They are certainly reproducing actively. I have four other birds, a drake and three hens that were born in early October. Just today I noticed that Drake mounting one of the...

A nest! A nest! She made a nest. I can believe how excited l am.[ Yesterday I discovered a nest with about eight eggs underneath the ramp leading to my shed. I can't tell if it's a group effort or if I have eggs from one bird. I think it may be a group effort because the eggs are different...

I have 16 young Muscovites, five are about 9 months old and the rest about 5-7 months old. I live in NYS, south of Albany. The older hens are laying the past week or so, but I have had them since they were ducklings, so they are very much "at home". I feed game bird pellets. The are a little...
