Yes working on getting pics of them, they are so beautiful ! And I know what you mean, I have 7 drakes and I dont want to get rid of any of them

I would keep her inside, just give her lots of water that is more important than food, besides if she is in shock, she probably wont eat much if she is eating peas, then give her some of that she should get better

Thank You ! he is very handsome and very tame. He rode in my lap( well, stood ) on the way home lol

I agree with Amiga. Muscovies are really tough! I had a female on eggs get attacked and bit by a dog and she still hatched her brood of 21 ducklings out ! Use the Veterycin and the electrolytes, both found at the local feed store. Good Luck !

Hello all, I just got a new chocolate drake from a friend and have two chocolate females as well. This spring I had a black drake mate one of the chocolates and got a bunch of black ducklings. I guess chocolate is sex linked...? Anyways, Im hoping to propagate the chocolates so was...

I usually go 3-4 hens per Drake and have no problems, all 3 hens set usually with about 15-21 eggs per nest

Miss Lydia, I was asking about the yellow duckling with its head on the back of the older black ducking. I had two like the one pictured above, but sadly a raccoon killed about 25 of my ducklings I got this spring from my hens. I was really sad

I must agree 22 wow, muscovies amaze me sometimes!

Yes I must agree as well, great awesome job, the breeders map is where i got my first white hens ! Her offspring the next year got blue ribbon at the County Fair !

I have a pair nesting in the tree above my scovie pen. They don't bother the adults, but I would be wary of the little ones.

Wow, nice birds, are those rippled ?
