    Muscovy question

    Question about one of the ducks in the photo. The one in the front is the mother and the one in the back is the daughter. The one in back doesn't seem to be getting the carunkles like the mother is and is a lot darker. Is it possible that a wild duck (not muscovy, I'm in SD and none wild...

    Drake sitting on eggs?

    Do male muscovy ducks set on the nests too? I have a nest that there is a male sitting on at times? I have heard my guineas will do this and "share" duties, but I wasn't sure if this held for ducks also?

    Seems like a dumb question to me...

    But, my guinea finally hatched some keets today. Do I need to put chick feed out or can they eat the all flock I have? (The moms free range also.)

    Questions on avian influenza

    Avian influenza has struck within about an hours drive from here. (I'm in SD and there were commercial flocks destroyed in MN and in SD) I am kind of in the middle of this area. I am wondering if there are any precautions that I could possibly take? There are no other flocks of domestic fowl...

    Toys for ducks

    Any ideas on toys for ducks? I have muscovies. My son has thought about getting some minnows from the bait store and putting them in the pool. Will they go after them or will I have just made a big fish tank? We sometimes have small frogs or toads and they don't seem interested in those, but...

    White muscovy duck question.

    I was reading another thread and they mentioned french white and american white. What is the difference?? How do I know which I have? I love my muscovies but this whole color thing is sometimes confusing! Also, is there any telling what I will get when my whites mate? I have one female and...

    Eggs.c

    Ok, I'm sure someone has gone over this before, but what is the easiest way to crack a guinea egg? I had a strong craving for homemade ice cream this morning and the first of the guinea eggs were all I had, so I used them, but I had a heck of a time getting them cracked to put in the blender...

    Muscovy color question...

    I have 3 muscovy's that are all white except for a "smudge" about the size of a dime or smaller on their head. I am wondering if they are considered white or not? If not, what color are they. I don't have enough posts to post pictures yet. One has markings that remind me of the spots around a...

    Ducks and guineas

    I posted this in the Guinea thread too so hoping for a few answers from some folks with experience with both. I just want an opinion or two from people who have both ducks and guineas. I currently have both, they are about the same age and were raised together. In reading I have read that...

    Ducks and guineas

    I just want an opinion or two from people who have both ducks and guineas. I currently have both, they are about the same age and were raised together. In reading I have read that both the ducks (muscovies) and guineas are both aggressive during breeding season and will go after other birds...

    Feels like a dumb question, but....

    I am wondering if wild ducks will mate with domestics. I have a few wild one's on the edge of my property and I am wondering if, when mine are older, they will try getting together with my Muscovy ducks? Sorry, just feels like a dumb question but I am trying to avoid any "surprises" later on.

    Advice for winter?

    I am new to the guinea thing. I raised chickens when I was growing up on the farm, but that's been quite a long time ago. (lol) I live in So.Dak. so the winters get cold here. I am looking for advice as to how to handle them in winter? Do I let them outside, keep them locked up, etc...
