I believe they're both drakes. They look big, chunky, masculine, and don't have much wing development compared to what a female would probably...
I think it was a sprain. Kiwi is doing much better. She walked all the way to the feeding porch, jumped onto the slab, ate, and then ran away when...
Ok...I don't think Kiwi is sick after all. 1. Her appetite is fine. The reason she wasn't eating when we noticed something was wrong was because...
Kiwi seems to have improved slightly. She had enough energy to peck and hiss at our little hand-raised gosling (who was sticking his silly bill...
Hmm, I suppose that's a possibility. I don't know how it would cause lameness though. I'll consider doing a flush if the things we are already...
I doubt it's egg binding. We've had an egg bound chicken before and it was nothing like this. Besides, it's been three or four days since this...
Please help...Kiwi seems to be sick. Kiwi is a 3-year-old female Muscovy duck. On either Friday or Saturday, I noticed that she seemed to be...
Haha, well that works I guess. He actually looks cleaner than my Edward ever does. :lol: I think I'll start spraying Edward too.
You don't need to give up yet! We all have to learn. Is it at all possible to take them outside? (Depends on the weather of course.) I think they...
Thanks. I was not aware of the technical term. It seems the owner of the duck has added two of the pictures to Wikipedia recently. I guess they...
Someone emailed me with a picture of their Muscovy duck with five webbed toes. :eek: I told them it was probably an unusual deformity. No bird...
Ducklings get soaked and cold VERY easily, even in warm weather. They probably shouldn’t have more than one bath a day, and not any longer than 10...
I think individual drakes have varying levels of hygiene. My oldest (5 year old) one has a slight smell. If the others do, I haven’t noticed it....
Update: The temperature was probably never as steady as it should have been, but in the end, one egg hatched. (The ones that didn't were either...
Will do, thanks. We decided to candle early. The bad news is that two eggs were rotten (which we had guessed from the smell). The good news is...
Ok, the plugs are out. I also put in two water bottles with water that was preheated to exactly 99.5. Actually, come to think of it, I do have a...
Drafts...well, maybe, but come to think of it, it's been quite still over the last three days. Right now, the curtains aren't even fluttering. I...
It can be somewhat drafty during the day, while we're using the room and have the windows open. The windows are shut for the night. I did wait...
No, it's not exactly new. I used it once in 2015 in an emergency when the broody duck died, for the last week of incubation. I can't remember how...
I'm incubating eight goose eggs (in a Hova-Bator 1602N), and I read that the temperature is supposed to be 99.5 degrees. However, the incubator...
