    Muscovy behavior

    I fill a dish with oyster shell, they get chicken layer feed, scratch grains, plenty of fresh veggies each day as a treat, occasionally meal worms and corn.

    Muscovy behavior

    I have a female muscovy who has had a sudden obsession with eggs. She knows when im going out to check for them. She doesn't try to sit on them though. She tries to stab them and eat them. Could she have gotten a taste of a broken egg and is now ruined? Help

    1st TSC couldnt resist moment

    All I know is I did not get any silkies (not a fan). I have 10 new chicks now. I think some may be the silver duckling bantam breed but not 100%. Any ideas?

    Iso Bantams in NH

    Yes unfortunately my state thread is extremely quiet. I don't feel many people from my state use this site as much as I do.

    Our first baby!!!

    We brought it inside. Chicken kicked it out of the nesting box. Shes still sitting on the other eggs. I have a heat system set up and water out but I don't have chick or water fowl starter to feed it. Any suggestions? I'm going to get some as soon as we're paid this week. Grabbing a mirror now

    Our first baby!!!

    We had our first egg hatch! Such a sweet little mule duck. Unfortunately her purebred brothers and sisters won't hatch for another week almost. Hoping our hen doesn't give up on the eggs before they do since this little guy was early and unexpected

    Duck egg issue

    I'm posting again to maybe get some more feedback. These eggs are about 3 days apart. The duck laying them is going through a molt. She has been laying since Feb/Mar and is 1yr old in August.

    Egg issue

    So she hasn't given me an egg for a few days. She finally gave me one this morning and it looks like this... I feel bad she seems to be having issues but I'm not sure what's wrong since everyone else is fine
