    Muscovy Keeps biting at his stomach

    Yeah, I've owned him and many others for six years, So I'm not new to them, this has just blindsided me as we've never had this happen before. I am familiar with normal bathing procedures but I find it quite odd that over the past few months he doesn't bathe frequently. Obviously thats...

    Muscovy Keeps biting at his stomach

    Interesting, I've heard that before but never tried it. I guess thats probably because we've never had this problem in the past 6 years of owning this guy, haha.

    Muscovy Keeps biting at his stomach

    Muscovy Keeps biting at his stomach

    No, there is nothing hanging out of his vent. But about mites, do you have a suggestion on what to buy to put in his bath that will take care of that? Its next to impossible to get a look at his skin, he has a new coat of feathers coming in. but another observation we've had is that he doesn't...

    premature duckling! what do I do?

    Well just yesterday is when we started giving him vitamins and washed him off, the naval is still a bit bloody and healing. but yes, I will up the temperature, I'm wondering if thats why he doesnt perk up. he can pull his head up but not really hold it there.

    premature duckling! what do I do?

    it was in the egg for 30 days, its drinking and occasionally eating, Ive been keeping him at 80 degrees. he kicks and fidgets but other than that he just sleeps and he doesnt poop because the vein going into him has not fully healed

    premature duckling! what do I do?

    So I have Muscovys but one of the eggs prematurely hatched. we kept the little guy inside and let him absorb his yolk and detach from the membrane. It's been about 4 days since he was inside and I've been giving him vitamins and water and he's still not walking. I'm wondering when I should...
