Hello. So I have one old pair, and one they offspring, which I think is girl. She is 12 weeks old.
Had saw before I put them seperated drake on it..

Duck lives with chickens, and I dont like all that water messing thing.

Im sorry i can't understand everything that your saying but. Female muscovies need to be at least 6 months before they start mating sometimes longer, depending on their size. so 7 or 8 months to be safe. males can mate around 4 months, if they're big enough that is and sexually mature.

also muscovies need water to take a bath or else they can get parasites easier and sicker easier, you should also free range them every day if you can even for 30 minutes
