Is this a Runner?
To me, they both look like runners....how does it walk upright? I had runners and when they are calm, they walked like normal ducks....when they were alert they were standing straight up -
Is this normal molting for Muscovy?
You more then likely have two females :) And yes it's that time of year for molting...my pekins are currently and they are looking a little haggard lol -
Do Muscovy duks feed their ducklings when hatched?
I never separated mine, but the momma's did a wonderful job running everybody off that went by her ducklings -
Dirty looking bills...
Looks sort of brownish...but I guess it explains it. I know atleast one is laying as I find an egg nearly every morning. I didn't know their bills changed color like that. They also seem to be going through molt..thank you for the info :) -
Dirty looking bills...
What could it possibly be? I have tried wiping it off thinking they were just dirty as they didn't come from the most stellar conditions. They are pekins. We just got 2 ducks and a drake. The drake looks fine, but the females look like they have something all over their bills? I saw some like... -

My Drake is acting aggressively towards my duckling
From what I have read this is very normal drake behaviour....the boys can be such a nuisance! -
An outbreak of limping amongst my call duck population
I know you have already gone to the vets lol but I had this happen with my flock when I switched them over to Flock Raiser.....mostly just the males, even the gander, once I switched them back they were fine! -

Well...checked the ratio in this last clutch....after losing another duckling to the **** turkeys a couple days ago it brought us down to 8 ducklings.....3 boys 5 girls :) I'd say the ratios have been good with these two hatches -
I have a thief on my hands!
Can you tell which one ISN'T hers? Amazing what just two weeks can do to a duckling LOL This baby has been trying to get with Ellie since it was born, really weird that it doesn't want to stay with it's mother! -

I had 4 girls 3 boys with my last hatch....not sure about this one that just hatched, haven't checked them yet lol Here's a picture of the newest babies :) There's 10 of them all together! -
Male or Female Rouen! :) Thanks!
It's hard to tell until they are in their adult plumage.....but by now it should either have a really loud quack...or more of a monotone rasp. Girls have loud quacks, boys have raspy quacks -
Bleach in ponds?
Not everybody with ducks can afford to put a pond in nor do some of us have room...I use kiddie pools and empty and refill every day...works for me and my ducks are happy -

Thank god our 3 month old boy hasn't discovered his wings yet! He's done a million zoomies around their fenced in yard, which is rather hilarious to watch lmao and he hops like a rabbit! On a good note.....Ellie bean's clutch is externally pipped!!!! SOOO excited! We are down to 10 good eggs... -
Please take a look at this picture and tell me what I need to do---Duckling
That does look like the vent area and if he smells then it is infected, I'm not sure what exactly it is, possibly intestines, but if he were mine I would probably cull. Just my opinion
