    I want to start breeding mule sucks (male Muscovy X female jumbo Pekins)

    No, I can't blame you for thinking this as there's almost zero information on this topic. However there are a few websites that go over this, 1 namely would be Metzer farms. I think I have enough information for now but thank you!

    I want to start breeding mule sucks (male Muscovy X female jumbo Pekins)

    I ordered 5 female jumbo pekins and 5 muscovys from a hatchery so they can be raised together. My question is this, I already have 6 3 month old muscovys. Will the 3 month old muscovys become attracted to my existing pekins or new baby pekins or will I have to just get day old ones from the...

    I need to know the genders on my 2 Khaki Campbells

    I'll try that, they literally look identical besides size. There's no sign of the bigger ones head turning black. I'll try putting it by itself, the problem is that I've heard its voice. It's a chirp with (maybe my imagination) a tiny raspyness to it.

    I need to know the genders on my 2 Khaki Campbells

    I originally thought they were female based on plummage, then I read some where that the plumage is the same until they're about 12 weeks for Rouens and Khaki Campbells. 1 is 5-10% larger and still has a chick chirp, the other one that's a little bit smaller has a female quack. They're both...

    Muscovy duck eggs

    Well, I have both, pekins and muscovies, but they're not laying right now. I get that mallards lay more, but I've yet to see an egg from the pekin.

    Muscovy duck eggs

    Ok, got it. Would you recommend how else to get their egg production up? I forgot to mention in the original post that last year, my two muscovy hens laid their clutch of 40ish eggs in May. Is that very late for them to lay in the year? I hate how Texas weather is so variable lol.

    Muscovy duck eggs

It's still getting cold here so is that the reason? How do I increase egg production? I'm feeding them a mixture of layers feed, duck...

    ***URGENT*** Flock dropping like flys

    I've actually hatched some chicks from these hens before they stopped laying, could they also be affected?

    ***URGENT*** Flock dropping like flys

    @NatJ They have unlimited water all day long, we live around thirty minutes south-east of Austin TX so we are very aware of the heat. As for food, they eat grass and bugs and we try to make sure they eat enough feed. Sometimes there's food left over at the end of the day.

    ***URGENT*** Flock dropping like flys

    Thank you for your prayers @Toastedone and for your advice @azygous, I move the tractors everyday, sometimes even twice a day. I haven't thought about getting a vet sample. @Toastedone could you elaborate on AI? I've never heard of it, these are the first chickens we've had and raised them from...

    ***URGENT*** Flock dropping like flys

    Hey BYC, I just had three chickens die this morning and I have really no clue why and the rest of them haven't been laying eggs, I have around thirty-something hens and one rooster that wasn't doing so well either. I have them in chicken tractors and feed them organic dumor feed. When I feel the...
