I have 3 muscovies. One of them looks to have wet feather. I believe it is from one of my other scovies beating him up. His tail feathers are all frazzled and he's bleeding from his tail and near his wings. I have caught the one that is beating him up, in the act. And have separated him from the...

I am also in the Granite State! We have 3 muscovies. Although I am only sure of the sex on one of them so far. Theyre about 5 months old now. :-)

I picked up some feather footed bantams and fancies from someone about a week ago. Is there a way to tell now if I have hens? Theyre about two weeks old. Its hard to get a photo of them since theyre so bouncy, and I have them in with my Turkey chicks who are also the same age. (Theyre all doing...

so i should set up nesting boxes? Theyre about 18 weeks old. I live in NH & its 90-95 degrees here. I think later today ill go put my muck boots on and check for eggs since i only caught them today and arent sure how long this has been going on.

how long after the act takes place will i find eggs? Im a newbie duck mom & i never expected my scovies to try and mate with my KCs

So my ducks are older than i thought. I double checked with the people we bought them from. However- i also have 3 muscovies. And i just caught one mating with one of my KC females. Am i going to have ducklings on my hands soon?

i just caught one of my scovies mounting one of my female khakis in their pool. I definitely have at least one male. Which leads me to a question about if my scovies and khakis can successfully have a clutch?

I have 3 scovies!!! I can't tell if they're male or female though. :-/ They're awesome birds. & mine like to come knock on my door at meal times. Just so I don't forget.

I have 4 KC's. They're about 4 months old, MAX. None of them have drake feathers yet. But one of them has a dark dark head & lighter body & the other 3 are uniform chocolate almost brown from head to tail. Which is a male? I can't find solid info online.

My 4 are only loud when they're excited or hungry. Mostly hungry. They also quack back when my husband quacks at them.

i do but nothing uploads :-(

I think I'm too new to post photos :-(

I think I have all drakes :-/ based off of what you told me. Bummer! Thanks for the info. definitely helps! And answered all of my questions :-)

Just a few questions. I'm new to duck ownership and definitely new to Muscovies. I've never even heard of them until I got 3 of them. All of my ducks are about 10-11 weeks old. (Approx) 1) can I leave them out at night? I live in western NH and have a 5 foot fence around their area. It gets...

I have 3 Muscovies. And 4 khaki Campbell's. One of my Muscovies walks differently than the other 3 and lays down almost instantly after walking to his or her destination. They all get niacin in their water. And the other two are fine. Any ideas? Could he or she just be lazy? They were purchased...
