muscovy drake

Okay so my duck Marie is disabled but I don’t know why (btw Marie is a drake but I didn’t know when I named him) I will be sorting this post in sections so it’s easier to read. Legs: When we got Marie as a duckling he couldn’t walk for the first three months of his life. We massaged his legs...

Kyle is a Muscovy. Yesterday I noticed his feathers were all over the ground, and a small part of his neck is raw and bloody. Today I noticed him scratching that area. I am assuming that's what caused so many of his feathers to be ripped off. Kyle isn't mine (he belongs to no one, he's his own...

I have 1 rooster whit 5 chickens and my Muscovy has a mate whit 9 other growing muscovys that hatched 2 months ago. HES BECOME VERY AGRESSIVE TOWARDS OUR ROOSTER that every time their in contact whit one another, it turns into a BLOODY mess.!!!;(. The rooster fights for self defense but the...

Hello! I'm seeking some advice regarding Muscovy Drakes. I have two Drakes - one is the progenitor of the other. The eldest Drake is around 4 years old, the youngest around 5 months. In the last 3 or 4 weeks, I have noticed the elder Drake staying lower to the ground, being more separate from...

I have chickens (1 rooster and 10 hens; 8 months old) and ducks (3- Muscovy drake, Muscovy Hen and Kaki Campbell hen; all around 4 months old). I went out today and our rooster was trying to get away from the Drake and was panicking. The drake seems to be intimidating the rooster and I think he...

First post, so please bear with me. A few weeks back after much research I finally jumped into the backyard fowl and got 5 Muscovy who are now 8 weeks old. These are a complete first for me, I've never had ducks or chickens before. As nature would have it I ended up with three drakes and two...

I have 3-4 month old muscovy drakes who need new family's, 2 would make perfect pets(silver and chocolate), the silver drake is the most tame, chocolate is tame, other white is a good large drake but hes just skittish around people. Located Agawam MA. Can go seperate. Re-homing fee for each...

I have a amazing black drake muscovy who is 9-10 weeks old. He is fairly independent and very spunky, he allows me and some other people in my family to pet him on the back. But I have 2 drakes out the 3 ducklings I originally got. And we are keeping the other because he is even friendlier...

I only have 2 ducks, they are a mating pair they have always gotten along so well as they were raised together. A month ago I'd say, this weird duck wondered into our yard I believe he is a muscovy as he is quite big with the red around his eyes and a little mohawk. I felt bad for him after I...

My family has named this guy ‘Vlad’ he came from a hoarding situation that was super sad, he and his mates have never been sheltered or fed, so they’ve been with us for about 5 days and are starting to understand coop life and the feed situation. I, on the otherhand, freak out when I get hissed...

Hi everyone. I’m thinking of getting a Muscovy pair that would live with my other two female ducks, and my goose pair. My male goose is rather dominant and doesn’t like when any of the other waterfowl step out of line. Do you think he would have issues with a Muscovy drake? I’ve heard that...

Hey all! I’m located in New England and am looking for some one who wants male Muscovy drakes and has too many hens. I know it isn’t a usual problem but I am looking to add a new bloodline into my flicks for breeding. Can send pictures. All the best!

We were told this was a male and female muscovy pair. To be honest, the bunnies we got from the same person, (at the same time) we later found to be sexed inaccurately). Are they even muscovies? Any idea on the sex or how we can?

I got my baby muscovies about a month and a half ago and they’ve gotten so big and beautiful but for so long I could not figure out if they were male or female. Everything said I should be able to tell by size and voice but they looked similarly sized and they don’t really talk a lot so I just...

My muscovy drake just stopped - all of a sudden eating yesterday. He drinks a lot of water, I mean (a lot), more than ever. Sometimes moves his head left and right like something bothers him. He seems depressed and don't want to be bother by anyone. He moves his mouth like if he's drinking water...

We got our first 3 muscovy's last summer. One female and two males. We never had a duck house prepared for them but they had plenty of places around the farm to seek shelter out of the weather. A barn, under the decks, under the house, under boxwoods, etc. This year we have have been blessed...

I simply want to know if it would be wrong for this guy to have his two sisters as companions? I certainly wouldn't let any babies hatch, wouldn't even let the girls brood but I love his guy and at the moment he is in a pen beside the girls, all alone. I don't want him to be on his own and we...

This is Wally and Waldo, they are Drake and son. I took them in in June Waldo was just a little guy and Wally chased him much like he does in this video so I have separated them Wally spends most of his time watching the others through a fence. I am wondering, 1. Is this normal "pecking order"...

please help. I bought a female friend for our male Muscovy. Within a few weeks she was already brooding on 11 eggs. Ima and Lady Gray were best of friends until she started brooding. He kept leaving for longer periods until finally he slept by himself outside the coop. 11 eggs hatched all...
