    Young Moscovies pulling each others pin feathers

    I’ve honestly never been a fan of white moscovies. I always find them to be dumber then their coloured siblings but for some reason last year I liked a white hen I made so I kept her to make more whites this year and now I’ve had this problem so honestly I’m blaming it on the whites as I never...

    Young Moscovies pulling each others pin feathers

    Hey there! I’m still having some issues mostly with the pure white moscovies. My plan is to breed out white as I find they were the main source of how it got started. The majority of my flock has grown out their primaries now it’s just a handful who keep plucking each other. I find making sure...

    Young Moscovies pulling each others pin feathers

    I use beer as a fermentation additive so I mix a 5 gallon bucket of wheat with 1 bottle of Budlight cause it’s cheap and water then let it sit in the sun for 3 to four days. Then I drain the diluted beer ferment water into the garden and mix the fermented grain into duck grower along with a tub...

    Young Moscovies pulling each others pin feathers

    I have noticed it slowed down once I started adding yogurt and beer to their feed. I’ve been raising moscovies for over ten years and have never had this issue to this extent so I’m trying everything to get them to stop. I decided trying to up the protein as much as possible to see if it would...

    No I'm too old to show 4H. They are all young ducks I’m just wondering if Black Ripple is a show able colour

    Showing Moscovy ducks

    Does anyone on here have experience showing moscovies? I’m wondering if black ripple can be shown or if they aren’t a recognized colour. I’m guessing the young Drake would be disqualified for having white on the head.

    Young Moscovies pulling each others pin feathers

    I have a large group of young moscovies they are at the stage where they are growing in their primaries. Over the past couple weeks I’ve noticed that some have been pulling the pin feathers out of others and now it’s gotten to the point where a quarter of the flock is tormenting each other...

    Standard Indian game leg issues

    Yeah if you’re in the US I won’t be able to help you there unfortunately. We can’t ship eggs across the boarder without permits. These birds I have originally came from the US a few generations prior.

    Standard Indian game leg issues

    I’ll likely have some pairs available later in the summer If your in Ontario Canada. I’m trying to hatch as many whites as I can so I’ve been keeping all the eggs.

    Anyone ever outcross Cornish X with heritage Birds?

    Do you find the f1 crosses of the standard Cornish over CX broilers can reproduce on their own or do they get too large? I’m thinking to do this and hold onto a couple f1 hens to cross back to the standards again.

    Standard Indian game leg issues

    I’ll definitely get him on the Vitamin B complex as well. I didn’t notice tremors yesterday but I’ll still give him some just to rule anything out.

    Standard Indian game leg issues

    He’s a big guy for sure with very thick legs. I will definitely get on with treating the scaly leg. I find in the morning when I let them out he doesn’t have any tremors but when I get home from work after he’s been out chasing hens and foraging all day he has some tremors. I’ve never had this...
