    Too many eggs under a broody muscovy?

    I just candled and counted the eggs under my broody muscovy. She has 29 developing eggs. The weather is in the 70 to 80 range and her nest is very deep and bowl shaped up tight around her, no eggs showing. Should I remove some? I don't want to compromise the whole hatch. For a muscovy, what is...

    Hi In my last hatch I had some duckling patterns and colors that were new to me. I had a question about this one. It looks to be a mix of wild type and dusky. The face has the eye stripe and you can see the darker v shape on the forehead like a wild type but the face is much darker than a...

    NOOOOO, Sweet PDZ come back!

    Hello all, My hubby just got back from the feed store and told me that Sweet PDZ or stall fresh was out and will no longer be stocked because the parent PDZ company is closing, closed down.

    Duck with swollen head, feels like half inflated balloon

    My young drake Hunter has a swollen head. I was out with the ducks for a few hours this evening, towards end of time I started noticing one side of Hunter's head seemed a little lopsided.

    Muscovy duck dance, Scovy Momma I think my ducks were doing a version of it

    We bought some feeder fish today and put them in our large black stock tank for the ducks. Sorry fish lovers. When the ducklings got in the water they swam and splashed normally at first. It took awhile for one to spot a fish, it gobbled it right down and than started looking in ernest. The...

    Muscovy bumpy red mask or smooth black mask, which do you prefer?

    I am just curious if there are others out there that like the gypsy black mask on muscovies? I think it looks neat. Tho I suppose a third option would be smooth red. I believe I read somewhere thats more european, not 100 % on that. I think in the older threads the very bumpy red was most...

    Coturnix quail on sand
