    Wanting Muscovy Ducks

    I am in Texas and wanting to purchase 1 drake and 4-5 ducks to add to my flock. If anyone in Texas or around Lubbock is interested in selling please let me know. I am not looking for ducklings, would prefer 6-18 months old.

    Questions about Muscovy ducks !

    OK my scovies are 10 months old now and I have NEVER seen an egg. Granted they free range and could be hiding them but none of my females have gone broody either. I have searched high and low and... no eggs, no nest. I have seen them mating and one drake has "claimed" two ladies and does not let...

    Question for ya: I lost another drake due to a predator I believe. I am considering building a floating duck house for them. They have a roost house about 8 feet high and I have never seen them use it. Mostly they sleep either under the old pickup truck or on the water/at the waters edge. My...

    Given everything going on int he world right now, I am trying to determine if a Muscovy take over would be a bad thing or not??? haha I dont think I would argue to just watching them all day!

    Well fingers crossed I get some soon. I searched high and low and dont believe I have any yet but hopefully soon! We are in Lubbock, so a bit more North than you. I cant wait for eggs.

    Perfect! I would prefer them to raise their own. I am also hesitant about putting anything out that would be considered a nesting box. I do not want them exposed and easy picking for predators. I would rather let the girls do their best to hide them. That just makes me worry that I am going to...

    Hey gang, I'm back with an update and some more questions. So, in May of 2016 I got 10 one day old un-sexed Muscovy. I raised them in my backyard till they were 16 weeks and then we moved them out to our weekend farm house. They are 100% free range. I ended up with 6 drakes and 4 ducks. I have...

    Also, I am needing to transport 10 8 week old babies this weekend. I am hoping that I can put them in their old coop from when they were babies and put it in the bed of the truck. My concern is that the coop is exposed on all sides and top and just has chicken wire around it. What is the best...

    Does anyone have any muscovy with black bills? I have 2 that have black on their bill and one other that has a whole black bill and his caruncle even looks like it is going to be black? Thanks,

    This was the babies at 6 weeks old. I had been so worried about my drake to duck ratio thinking that Wanda (small little bitty chocolate) was my only duck. But.. I have judged them based off size and tail length and I get no where. Now, I am starting to notice a few of their feet are much bigger...

    Week by week photos of a Muscovy duckling...weeks 5, 6 and now week 7 included

    Yes I had thought of losing a broody female and I think I will try grab her clutch before she sits and just incubate them at home. The babies wouldn't do well out there anyways and I could raise them at the house like I am doing now. At least until they are big enough to fly and fend. I know I...
