She’s being mean and pushy. Boy they can sure get on a nerve can’t they? lol. My one Muscovy who is living in another coop with another Female has gone broody. She and Ruth get along thank goodness because I’m out of rooms to move one out. No eggs under her either. :rolleyes:
I haven't the foggiest as to why they single one female out but right now I have 2 of my Muscovy females sleeping in a separate coop from the rest. Both of these girls are the lowest Ruth who is 14 and Joy who will soon be 9. So far Hope and Dolly and my drake Opie are doing okay together. But...
You can try to break her, Boy are they stubborn. Last I tried I took my girl out closed the door so she couldn't get back in she spent most of the day hanging on the hardware cloth on the door. After a few days I just said what the heck I went in changed out bedding adding new and let her...
Believe me Karen won't mind being in the coop by herself while broody.
I just had to put 3 of my Muscovy girls into another coop for night because the 4th is picking on them. She has become the favorite of the drake and wants to flunt it.
I don't like to separate them either but to my surprise it did help. I've only had to do it 2X and not in the same year.d not in the same year. If Dolly keeps it up she may go in solitarty confinement for a night soon. . When they bully each other outside the one getting picked on can usually...
I am seeing this too @SolarDuck these Muscovy girls can be so catty. Not only is one going after another I have one also going after some of my LF hens. From all I can say with living with these girls for quite a few years it's just natural by product of these Muscovy and watch how the others...
My Muscovy do this and they take turns. I’ve had to put a few In time out over night if they won’t stop when everyone goes inside. That usually brings her back right. The other night my youngest who is 8 yrs was chasing my oldest who is almost 14 and she can’t hardly walk so sure didn’t need to...
I love them♥️ And she is healing very nicely too. I have 4 female Muscovy and 1 drake. My girls can be temperamental, sometimes they will pick on each other and I have even had to give one time out when she wouldn’t stop after they had gone into their coop for the night. They are what I call...
Sounds to me like she is really coming around now under your care. Do you have Veterycin it’s a spray for wounds an infections. You might try that instead of rubbing something on it. She. Might not mind it as much. Is she using the preen gland for preening?
