One of my buff duckings (5 weeks old) is acting very strangely. Seizures, neck twisting, walking in circles and not interested at all in following the others. I would say she’s acting blind. She also stands still and looks upwards for hours at a time. I have not seen her sit down in the past...
I'm interested in mule ducks and I was wondering how difficult it is to breed/hatch them. I have a muscovy drake and pekin, rouen, mallard, and buff females. If any of you have done this before, or have mule ducks, any info would be great. I plan on keeping the drake with the mallard derived...
4-5 weeks old. I was told they were snowy mallards but I’m having doubts now. On the smaller side, yellow down with faint eye stripes and pink bill/feet. Feathers just starting to come in. Flank feathers are buff, tail feathers are silvery buff. Photos.

Mason and Mrs. Maisel the mallards. Sadly Mason got spooked and flew away last month. Maybe he’ll return next year...
I’ve wanted muscovies for years but I could never find any in my area for sale. On Friday I finally found a breeder and picked up a couple of culls for $10 each. I got a 4 month old female and an 8 month old drake.Here’s my duck, Maribel. She’s very skittish and mainly spends time with the...
This is the second day in a row that my Muscovy Drake has been constantly attacking his reflection in the window. I have covered half of the window in cardboard and he has stopped for the moment, but obviously that’s not a permanent solution to him non stop battering the glass with his wings and...
