    FREE/Trade to a Good Home-1 Male Muscovy Duck, Maryland-Pictures insid

    Would you like him? I really need someone to take him. He might be a bit of a mess, but, he is still a feisty boy with plenty of energy. I spent 10 mins trying to catch him tonight to check him out further with no luck, he kept getting away from me! Please let me know if interested.

    Possible Allergy to Duck Eggs??

    Thank you for the replies. We're pretty sure he is allergic. I think we will wait a week or so, then try again.. and if he has the same symptoms we will know for certain.. I will talk to him about the skin test too.
