    What breed of Duck are these and any guesses at sex?

    Hi Beth, I would guess either mallard or khaki campbell for breed and as for gender, if you listen carefully to the sounds they make you should be able to tell the boys from the girls at 7 weeks. The girls will make a clearer chirping sound whereas the boy's voices will be raspier & hoarser...

    When Will Eggs Hatch True From New Mating?

    Hi all, can anyone out there tell me the answer to this problem. We recently discovered our Muscovy drake was having an affair with our Cayuga duck. She is now safely secured in a seperate pen with her own husband. How long should I wait before using her eggs to produce little Cayugas?

    I am thinking of hatching some duck eggs this summer!

    Hi there, hope this is of some help to you...first off, incubating ducks at home can be a bit tricky, do your research and try to keep the humidity & temp at the correct levels for each stage if you can but then I presume you have been reading up on all that already. I keep a pair of Cayuga...

    What have you named your scovies?

    I just had a look at your list of duck names...phew, you've had one or two haven't you? I had two rabbits called Nibbles when I was a child (well, Nibbles and then roughly 2 years later, Nibbles 2!) Good name for a duck tho!

    What have you named your scovies?

    @ NotaFarm, Wow..you're quick off the mark! Ha ha, I love it, think he would too actually! @ Goat-Walker I like the way you think, sounds like you put a lot of thought into naming them but I agree with you on only naming the keepers. The drake was a rescue case and I wasn't quite certain about...

    What have you named your scovies?

    Hi all, just wondering what are the most common or most unique names you have given to your muscovies? I have just one pair who I've had since last year & so far they've survived without names but I'm now so fond of them I want to give them their own names & make them feel more like part of the...

    Are there ways to encourage broodiness in muscovy?

    I can't help u here but I hope someone else can, that's something I've been wondering about too. I do know they lay a lot of eggs before they sit on the clutch, so not sure but maybe u should start leaving the eggs in the nest. Mine haven't even started laying yet....I'm getting worried! Best of...
