Duck Egg?
I went out to gather my eggs this morning and ran across this monster. It's the biggest egg I have ever seen.. and much larger than any egg any of my hens have laid. I have 3 Muscovy females that were hatched on Jul 31st.. and they share a run with my chickens. They also have access to the... -
looking for Muscovy Juveniles/Ducklings
update: Just wanted to say thanks to mysticalmom and snakeman for letting me come down and leave with some of their beautiful scovies. Snakeman said they were going to freezer camp but MM was all smiles when we left.. I sensed a bit of relief from her! They have settled in nicely today an have... -
Willy Wonka, the chocolate runner, didn't make it
So sorry to hear.. I lost all 3 of mine this last week to a fox or coon. But I always tell everyone, the only way to help get over a lost pet is to get another! So, I'm going to pick up some more tonight.. from some fine folks here on this forum. Best of luck to you going forward with the rest... -

Snakeman and MM.. you guys are awesome. PM on its way!!! @sweetcheaks- I have a chainlink run. On the interior from the ground up is a 30" lining of chicken wire. On the outside is chicken wire 12" high and buried that extends about 30" outward from the pen. I also have 2 strands of electrical... -

looking for Muscovy Juveniles/Ducklings
Hi all.. I'm wondering if someone can point me in the right to direction to a good hatchery for Muscovy Ducks. If not, are there some fine folks here that breed and ship? We just suffered a loss this last weekend with some of my chickens and all of my ducks. I lost one of my muscovy and the... -
Lost all my muscovy ducks =(
Good point Katharainad.. if I can't find some young 5-6 month old muscovys I will wait until spring. I was going to keep a heat lamp in their house regardless, but I don't want to risk anything again with any young ducks. @pascopol- I thought about getting some traps.. but with my kind of luck... -
Lost all my muscovy ducks =(
Thanks all.. it has been a terrible day. It's one thing to slaughter an animal that has been raised for meat, but these were my pets. They just ate out of my hand yesterday for the first time. I feel just terrible. Any recommendations on where I can order more? I would love a couple of good... -
Lost all my muscovy ducks =(
Had a rough day today.. a coon or fox found a weak spot in my pen, dug under and got 2 of my chickens, 1 of my ducks and mangled my other two ducks pretty bad. I had 2 female Muscovys and 1 Drake. The drake was left and had a broken wing, a large laceration under his wing deep into the meat and... -
Butchering Day Blues. :(
I too am raising Muscovy for meat. Mine are only ducklings though, so it will be into next summer before I have to start thinking about this. However, I do have a young roo that was supposed to be a hen. I have been trying for a while to find him a home, but no such luck yet. My neighbors have... -

Is my pullet a roo? She is crowing!
Thanks guys.. I really appreciate it. I don't really know what to do with him now.. it's obvious the neighbors aren't happy. I'd give anything to live on a farm and have many roosters.. I find it refreshing to hear them in the morning. My neighborhood is wooded and quiet, but the houses are...- axxell33

Is my pullet a roo? She is crowing!
I have 5 hens, a barred rock, 3 RIRs and 1 Black Australorp. My Australorp is much bigger than the other girls and they are all almost 6 months. Just about a week ago, she/he gets up and crows early in the morning.. and sporadically throughout the day. It sounded awful at first, so I was...- axxell33

Taming my new ducklings
I have three new 6 week old Muscovy ducklings, 2 females and 1 male. They share a run with my 5 pullets and have their own duck house. However, right now they like sleeping with company inside the chicken coop Anyways, my question is on the best ways to work with them and tame them? Right now... -
Muscovy duck murdered... need help identifying suspects.
Quote: Even with a .22 rifle.. you can buy the sub-sonics or the cb short rounds and they are just as quiet as a pellet gun. You wont hear any boom from the round discharging.. only the action of the gun. Just food for thought if you need something more powerful than a pellet.. cb shorts...
