Correct, we raise them commercially & if they reach laying age during cold months they will just wait until spring. The ones who are already laying when winter comes sometimes they continue to lay for a few weeks into winter. At least that's our experience. I would also provide some protection from the weather especially at night as they can easily get frost bite on their feet if they are always walking on frozen ground, ice or snow. Most other ducks aren't affected but Muscovy are.I know this is an old thread. I just would like some clarification. I live in So.Dak. My muscovies will be about 6 months when we have about a foot of snow here, they will wait to start laying until spring right? Sorry if I have asked something that has already been answered 3 times. lol
MY Muscovy drake got frost bite on his knob this past winter first time ever. It was a brutal winter...
