I'm in Maryland where the weather can get pretty cold. Not too bad, but cold enough. (in the 20s)I have 20+ muscovy (among other ducks) and all do fine, even in the snow. I make sure their house is snug and warm and cozy, and I feed a little extra corn to keep lots of fat on them, but the...
Help!!!If there's anyone here that lives near Harrisonburg/Stanley Virginia I know of 3 young mallards that need a good home. They belong to an elderly gentleman who got them as ducklings earlier in the year. 2 drakes and 1 female. Now they are growing up and the 2 drakes are fighting over the...
So, we ate our first muscovy for dinner last night. Didn't do anything fancy, just did it in the rotisserie oven. For the first one we really wanted to taste the meat and not do sauces or anything. OMG it WAS SOOOOO GOOD. I thought it was sort of like a good roast beef. I was so proud of myself...
Oh yes, I see now. That makes sense. I love the little things, like I do all my fowl... but man oh man.. loud isn't a big enough word for them. It's a good thing I don't have any neighbors. Even the ducks look at me like, "Really, Mom?" And the teenagers in the house trying to sleep all day...
I am a first time guinea owner (mine are about 9 wks old)and I'm pretty sure I have at least 3 females (out of 6) if I listen to their calls.
I am not going to bother banding them. They're just my pets and to help eat bugs around the place. To me their call sounds like, "Pi-cack , Pi-cack.. But...
Awesome! I don't sell muscovy eggs or anything, ( though I probably should!), but I love the things and Have over 20. I can't believe someone, who obviously did NOT know what they were talking about, tried to do this. And I am glad Ebay listened and realized their mistake and are trying to make...
I'd like to know that too. Who makes the decision. And do they even keep backyard or show ducks at all? Probably not. There is a great distinction between wild muscovy and show birds and even our backyard muscovy. People who keep them know that. It's really unfair, period. But the person who...
I can't fathom a BYCer who doesn't want muscovy to go to good homes. Period. Whatever the situation. It's sad and it's intrusive and you would think people had better things to do. *smh*
And to think....I was sooooooooooooooo worried about how the ducks and the new guineas would get along ( y'all know I love my ducks!).. and now look...
The guineas have only been ranging about a week and have stayed pretty close to their coop. But today I called the ducks for treat time, ( A...
