Peking mates with a Muscovy?
I am glad to be back. It has been quite busy around here. We have only had one loss since it all began. -
Peking mates with a Muscovy?
Funny how he got to our farm. A neighbor brought him late at night saying he was in their yard acting weird. He thought he was ours because we have all white Muscovys. He had herded the duck to our house and the duck went with him. So I was able to pick him up, which I thought was weird because... -
Peking mates with a Muscovy?
Thank you @Miss Lydia . I have a young male Peking that decided to come live with my Muscovies. Just wondering if it is best to separate until I can find him a few females. -

Muscovy mix?!?
Thank you! Yes, we had planned on finding him some girls of his own kind. Funny how he got to our farm. A neighbor brought him late at night saying he was in their yard acting weird. He thought he was ours because we have all white Muscovys. He had herded the duck to our house and the duck... -
Muscovy mix?!?
Hello All, I have a young Peking that has joined my Moscovy flock. All are getting along. I am wondering if the Peking will try to mate with the Moscovys? Would that be a problem? Thanks! And Happy (almost) New year!! 🎉 -
Already time to "teach some sex education"
Thank you @Crazy Maizie I think he is just playing Big boy and showing everyone who is boss. Funny thing, the other female, although he is almost 3x her size, she lets him know she wants nothing to do with him. He can't get near her! 😄 -

Yes, they are all 21 weeks. Maybe he is just staking an early claim. -

What is my Muscovy drake doing to my Muscovy hen?
Hi @Miss Lydia , I know exactly what you mean! I wish I had had the camera because the other day I also witnessed pure ducky love. The parents to all the ducklings were by the edge of the pond caressing. It was so beautiful to see them. The female usually doesn't care for the male to bother... -
Already time to "teach some sex education"
I am in need of duck sex education. My 21 week old Muscovy is mating already! Is that normal? I read they aren't mature until 6 or 7 months. There appears to be only one drake that is doing it and he only "mates" one of the females. Is there anything I should know? He isn't vicious, but... -
Help to Identify Male vs Female Muscovy
I am just repeating what I've been told, and what worked to identify mine: Look at their size- females tend to be much smaller, the legs of the males are thicker, and the tails of the females are more "pointy" at the ends. Your ducks are beautiful!!! I have 17 all whites. -

Do ducks taste like what they eat?
I keep telling myself that because they would have been eaten by a wild animal or gone bad. Their mother abandoned them because of a wild animal yanking her off the nest and she wouldn't go back to them. We are keeping the parents, the females, and one of the drakes that is very protective of...
