I believe he is a summer hatch so a few months old ? Fully feathered out but still has that sweet duckling chirp. I went out and weighed him and he weighs 7-8lbs . Will he continue to pack on weight or should he weigh more by now? I am loving all the pics of your all scovies! So pretty!
Hmm I am still leaning toward male too. Very sweet and friendly. He spent his first few months without any feathered friends so has been pretty independent from the flock thus far. I hope he knows he is duck. He actually seems more interested in talking to the geese so maybe once they stop...
Got some new pictures of our buddy today.. I'm thinking a male just based on his size but of course only the mallard would join him in the pictures. Please don't mind all the hoses in the background :) Ducks rule the yard here
Thanks all! I'm going to get some pictures of him today . We have some coop expanding to do this fall/winter and then I would love to have another scovy. This was an unplanned (but welcome) adoption and our geese unexpectedly hatched two mallard ducklings this summer so it is time for more...
So it's been a long while since I've posted on here but we just adopted a sweet muscovy to our little flock . It is our first muscovy so I'm looking for any tips or care for them vs our other ducks and geese. I'm not sure how to post a picture on mobile but hopefully I was able to update my...
Hi i also had a bumblefoot girl that needed shoes. I made her a pair to keep the meds in plus her feet were sore. They must of relieved some of the pain cause i got her climping the strangest things when she had them on! I can take a few pics tomorrow to post. My sewing skills are dusty so they...
I did see some of the gallon bowls on eBay as well. There are a lot of different sized bowls on there . They are also a few dollars cheaper. They really are a good idea! Thanks for posting them!
Miss Lydia that cover sounds neat I would also love to see a pic. I like to use the buckets because...
I would really like to have one of those buckets! Right now my ducks have a bucket and kiddie pool In their night pen but with winter coming the water situation is going to need tweaked . It would be nice to know they had water to drink all night. I'm sold! P.s.I found a couple a few...
Your new goose is beautiful! I rescued a goose this summer and went back and forth trying to decide if it was male or female. It was driving me crazy so I finally sent some feathers off for the DNA testing.......well my princess is a boy
Hi roxyblue ! I noticed you are in Pittsburgh pa! Go Steelers! ! This spring I got two pekins and they are really friendly if you can I would def try to get two females because one male would wear out one female. I have more than one female but my Pekin boy favors one girl and I have to separate...
This is my night club/pen to keep the babies safe at night. It is attached to a metal shed that is filled with bedding which so far they only use to lay eggs. I added remote controlled rope lights to do spot checks if I hear something at night. I need to get some pics of it during daylight...
That is a great idea about the wet suits. I was able to trace her foot and sew kind of a rough draft out of thicker fabric last night. I just wanted to see if I could figure it out. It turned good so as soon as I get some of the wet suit material I think I'll be able to make her a good pair...
