    Bumblefoot?

    I check my Muscovies weekly to maybe bi weekly at most for foot and other issues and never noticed anything out of the ordinary until today. Is this Bumblefoot? Is it possible for it to happen in so many spots on both feet so quickly? She was holding one foot up a little at one point when...

    Duckling Eating But Not Gaining Weight

    She's doing great! Pretty sure she's a female, still extremely small, and her left eye is a little sunken into her skull so I am thinking maybe she has a deformity that affected her growth, and she does sometimes have a slight limp on her right side but it does not affect her mobility at all...

    Duckling Eating But Not Gaining Weight

    I know, it's crazy lol if it weren't still so small I would honestly think it's the healthiest of all 8 based on how active and loud it is. I'll just keep doing what I'm doing, though if it doesn't start catching up to it's siblings soon its gonna have to be my miniature house duck 🤣

    Duckling Eating But Not Gaining Weight

    I did give a little Nutri dench the first day but I will try some more! It has had a swim, the only thing I noticed is it did kick its left leg a little more than the right but otherwise was behaving normally. I actually hatched 8 total (this was the last one to hatch) and this is the only one I...

    Duckling Eating But Not Gaining Weight

    I have a Muscovy duckling that hatched 6 days ago on day 37. I first weighed it on day 2 and it was 1.3 oz, on day 3 it was 1.4 oz and has not gained or lost any weight or grown at all since. It is eating, drinking, pooping, peeping, preening and running around and seems otherwise healthy. It's...

    Newly Hatched Duckling Cracked Other Egg

    Thank you for checking in! It was really struggling so after about 48 hours I worked up the courage to poke a safety hole (it was my first hatch ever so I was a nervous wreck lol) and it came blasting out about a half hour later! Its poor little feet were curled pretty bad and it had a much...

    Newly Hatched Duckling Cracked Other Egg

    Hi everyone! I just had my first duckling hatch! There are 3 other eggs in the incubator, and she was moving all around after hatching and looks to have bumped into and somehow cracked a piece of shell off one of the other eggs that just started to internally pip last night. The crack is on the...

    Hatching Muscovy Early

    I've got 4 Muscovy eggs on day 29 in the incubator and I noticed two of them wiggling. I removed the automatic turner and checked back about a half hour later and one of the wigglers moved a couple of inches and had spun around 180 degrees to point in the opposite direction I left it in and I...

    Incubating Muscovy Eggs

    This is my first time ever incubating eggs and I have 4 Muscovy eggs that have made it to day 26. I just candled and one egg seems to have an abnormally large air sac and the other doesn't seem to be filling the shell - does this mean they are no longer developing?
