    Muscovy hen needs home- NW Montana

    I have a sweet Muscovy hen, a year and a half old, who needs a new home. I don't know why but my chickens have started attacking her, although they've lived together for over a year. She doesn't fight back so she gets severely pecked. They are currently separated but it's not a good long term...

    My Scovy doesn't fly anymore

    A few weeks ago, my Muscovy was attacked by an owl. It had a hold of her by the back and she was beating at it with her wings. She lost a toenail but didn't have any puncture wounds. She seems back to her normal self, except for one thing. She doesn't fly anymore. She used to love flying, she...

    To clip or not to clip, that is the question

    I got my Muscovy hen Sylvie last February. She was young, but old enough to fly. The first day I let her free range with the others, she flew away in the evening. Fortunately I got her back without too much trouble, and clipped one wing the next day. Now she's molted and regrowing her feathers...

    A flock with no pecking order?

    I see a lot of threads where people talk about their flock's pecking order. I watch my chickens a lot, and I can't figure out what their pecking order is. I completely understand the concept, but I just don't see it in my flock. I see it with the ducks-my bossy Rouen is definitely in charge, she...

    Do your chickens have a set roosting spot?

    Chickens are funny. I thought that over time they'd each get a particular spot on the roosts, being that they are creatures of habit, but no. They pick a different spot every night. Last night there were nine chickens on one roost and three on another. Tonight it's split six on each roost. What...

    Help me decide what to do with my drakes

    I've got eight ducks; two drakes and six hens. The drakes are Indian Runners, and the hens are Runners, Rouens and a Muscovy. Everybody has been together for at least a year, and always gotten along well with no drama. I've always liked the drakes because they were nice to the girls. The drakes...

    Injured little sparrow

    I heard something wallop the front window a little while ago and went outside to find a small sparrow-like bird laying on the ground stunned. The chickens were very interested in it, so I picked it up as gently as I could and moved it to the fenced garden where nothing can bother it. It's been...

    What type of duck is this?

    We were given this abandoned duck back in October. It was found walking along a busy highway. Initially I thought it was a blue Swedish duck because of the coloring. But some of its characteristics don't seem typical of the breed, from what I've researched. It's likely a "mutt duck" but what...
