They are in a coop/ run in the nights and just free range in the days. I’m mostly feeding them duck pellets and a small amount of treats- lettuce, peas, sardines, egg, mealworms?
We rescued a few Muscovy ducks about 4 weeks ago. I’ve no idea how old they are but it’s spring and I’ve got no eggs yet. If they’re of laying age (not too old), would I have had some eggs by now? It’s spring and quite hot where I live and they are definitely adult females.
I doesn’t bother me...
I’m so glad I posted here, your advice has been invaluable
That’s such a good idea to keep them in for a week too, I’d never have thought of that but we’ll definitely be doing this.
I have been looking at the Omlet runs, good to know the tarps are good quality. They even have a cute chicken...
Thanks so much for all your replies, they have been very helpful.
We were thinking of getting Isa Browns and all of the chickens and ducks will be ladies so won’t have to worry about them Mating.
We have decided to follow your advice and get 3 ducks and 3 chickens instead of just the two...
Hi,
Im considering getting 2 Muscovy ducks and 2 chickens and would really appreciate some advice before we commit to buy them.
We have approx 1000m2 garden but no permanent water source at this point. The birds would be locked away at night but we’d like to give them the freedom to roam...
