Hello,
A few days ago neighbors found an injured Muscovy duck and brought her to me because I have been raising ducks and chickens in my backyard. However, I have never had a bird with such a terrible injury; the duck seemed to have been bitten by something around her tail area, and the cuts...
Early this may I had 5 tiny muscovies ducklings. After I lost two, I put a large dog crate in my room that I keep the ducks in from 8:30pm-10:00am. During the day the ducklings are released into the duck run to frolic until the sun starts setting, rinse and repeat. I've kept this up for a couple...
My girl Maisy has not been herself for over 24hours. Either standing or laying, not eating and barely drinking. I’ve tried yogurt, dog food, peas, greens, oyster shell, layers feed, meal worms… she has no interest. Her poop is all water. There is no fecal matter in it. She is drinking a bit, but...
First time Muscovy hen has been sitting on nest and this morning we found a hatching egg pushed out of the nest. My teen pulled the egg out and brought it in, we took it back out right away but Mama started pecking at it. What do we do now?? Baby is moving and making sounds. I will attach picture.
New to this community! I have a 10 month old Muscovy named Pancake who is on her first egg laying/ broody cycle. We have a lot of Muscovys in the area and we found Pancake as an abandoned hatchling and could not bear to leave her behind so we took her in. She is mainly an indoor bird but we do...
I have raised two muscovy ducks from ducklinghood: a girl and a boy named Ducky and Dinger, (now about five months old.) I thought it was a good idea to get another lady for Dinger, so two weeks ago I brought home a new adult female muscovy named Jamboree.
Two days ago, I woke up to find...
Hi there,
I have a 4 week old Muscovy duckling, his name is Bald Eagle because of the bald spot he was born with on his head. He's always been a little funny, has some balance issues, spacial awareness issues, possibly vision issues. He has started doing it less now but will look around over...
Okay there's a lot to say hah
I have a 3 week old muscovy duckling who was born with a bald spot. When he was born up until now we've noticed that he's got some funny neurological things going on, he has a hard time with balance and spacial awareness, he'll look around the room over and over but...
I have yearling muscovies and all of their oil glands just seem to not be working properly, some are partially working while two girls just are dry and have no oil at all, they have access to a full yard of grass and have fresh water to bathe in everyday. I don't know what to do about it, all I...
I posted about my Muscovy molting a couple weeks ago, but I can’t find that thread.
We adopted her. She couldn’t walk well and we assumed she was over weight and her legs were weak from her previous living conditions.
She has since lost weight and moves and runs well.
I noticed though, a couple...
Can anyone please provide a list of essential items to have on hand for both general Muscovy health maintenance and emergency intervention such as vitamins, apple cider vinegar, calcium for egg-laying females, dewormer, charcoal, correct size tubing, etc. with appropriate dosing and anything...
