    6 week Muscovy ducks for sale

    We have Muscovy ducklings for sale. Muscovy ducks require very little maintenance. We have handled the ducklings so they are friendly. A few facts about muscovies for those who have never had them: 1. They do not quack. The males (drakes) make a low huffing sound and the females make a...

    Selling Ducks

    We have had a very successful breeding season this year. SO MANY DUCKLINGS. It's been a lot of work keeping up (spendy too). I posted on Craigslist but only sold one so far. Where do you usually post your ducks/chickens for sale? I am in the Boise, Idaho area. I did post to the forum on here...

    Flystrike in hatching eggs?

    I’ve searched the internet and it seems I am the only one having this problem. The flies seem to be laying eggs inside the eggs while the ducklings are hatching. We have had awful flies this year. I have fly traps, I spray out their pen and lay new straw and clean out their pool often. But the...

    Duck adopting other ducks ducklings?

    First clutch that hatched my ducks sister kind of took over being the mom (abandoning her nest). The ducklings followed her like she was their mother. This time the same duck hatched 9 ducklings and one of them won’t leave my other ducks side (who is not her mother) even though she is sitting...

    Maggots in duck food?

    I went to clean it out the ducklings feeder and when I dumped it there were maggots. I clean it out once it is empty or just powder. My duck immediately gobbled the maggots down when she saw them. I’ve been battling flies so bad this year. It’s been awful. No matter what I do they won’t go...

    Excessive heat warning, should I be worried for the ducks/ducklings?

    It’s supposed to hit 107-109 today. I’m a little worried about the ducks/ducklings. We have a weather warning for the heat. I have water for them but should I do something else for them?

    Will a squirrel kill a duckling?

    This morning I heard one of my ducklings outside my window so I ran out and sure enough the little guy was out of the ‘duck run’. I heard something run away up in the tree. I grabbed him and put him back. This happened once before and I sealed up any possible holes the baby could have escaped...

    Should I move nest out of the sun?

    One of my Muscovy ducks decided to make her nest right where there is sun all day. It’s supposed to be 103-106 the rest of the week. Should I move it? It’s in a bad spot but if you have suggestions I can place something to protect them from the sun.

    8 week old duckling’s flight wings growing in odd angle...

    I am not sure if this is normal or not since these are my first ducklings. I’ve heard about something called’ ‘angel wings’ where the wings don’t grow in right. 1. Is this normally how they look when they grow in? 2. Is there something I should do to help him? 3. Is there a way to prevent this...

    Vacation and ducks; what do you do?

    I will only be leaving for 3 days/2 nights. This is the first time I’ve left them since we got them. A few things I am worried about: 1. I created my own food containers. I cut a hole in a bucket and put plastic around to prevent injury. I have to refill it daily. 2. Water. It’s hot and we...

    Help figuring out if ducklings are duck/drake, please?

    I have four 6 week old Muscovy ducklings. I can get better pics. They’re very friendly and every time I try to get a pic of their legs they turn toward me, ha ha. I THINK we have 3 females, 1 male. Please let me know if I need better pics and I will get my kid to hold them :).

    How to help ducklings get out of pool?

    We have 4 week old ducklings that are now able to get into our pool but have a difficult time getting out. We have paint trays with water but they’re getting curious about swimming. I do not really want to drain the pool and I do not have room to separate them. I have seen people create ramps...

    How do you keep duck area dry when it rains a lot?

    It’s been raining for days and it’s super muddy back there. I put new straw down last night and this morning it’s drench and gross. There isn’t any grass anymore just dirt. So, it gets pretty muddy right now. Straw isn’t working. I’ve seen some people say sand works? Any advice would be great.

    Muscovy drake hissing and bobbing head

    I got my Muscovy drake when he was only a couple weeks old and he is now about a year old and for the last few months he has started making a hissing sound at me and bobbing his head up and down and kinda of front to back. We do have ducklings now but he started this before. He hasn’t tried to...

    Duck wormer?

    Does everyone give their ducks worming medicine? We had some ducklings die from what looked like flystrike but just in case it’s worms I would like to treat my other ducks. Opinions? I’ve called several places near me and no one has worming medication for ducks. Where would I get it? My...

    Muscovy females sharing care of ducklings?

    We had 4 ducklings hatch a little over a week ago and when they started moving around they kept bugging their aunt. She eventually completely abandoned her nest and we lost all of her eggs. She started following her sister’s ducklings around and she acts like a mother to them. Both the mother of...

    Anyone else have ducklings sit on eggs?

    Ducklings internally pipping then dying before they externally pip?

    I have one nest that was pretty big (~20). Last two days I go out there and she had a few eggs kicked out of the nest. I candle them and I can see that many internally pipped but then died. Why are they dying before they fully hatch? They eat all-natural feed 16% protein lay pellets (other...
