Thanks. I've had them for about a week. The yolks are very different from my other female, who I have had for about 6 months. Her eggs had thick yolks but these were so thick that they were almost solid. I live in a small village in Guatemala and don't have access to pellets. So we get by w/...
I have two new muscovy ducks that have just started laying. The yolks of the eggs were extremely thick and the smell was extra gamey. Is their something wrong with their diet. They eat cracked corn and free range. I'd be happy to hear any suggestions.
Thanks for the help. One duckling hatched out of five eggs. It appears to be healthy and strong and is now eating and drinking. Mom seems to be taking excellent care. So sweet to see him/her nestled under the wing. Time will tell . . .
My female muscovy is setting on four eggs. One hatched and the others have not yet. Does the duckling need access to water right now. If not, how soon?
I am new to raising ducks and my muscovy mama just hatched one duckling this morning. She is in her nesting box with the duck. Does the duckling need water for drinking right now. No other eggs have hatched. Is there a chance they could still hatch. I appreciate any help you can give. Thanks!
