Hi lovely people!
Since getting my Muscovy duck Penny I’ve been learning the ropes of indoor duck owning. One of the biggest frustrations has been finding a diaper, and while I wish I had the sewing talents to make one I simply don’t. However, thinking about this did give me an idea!
Penny is...
Hi lovely people!
Since PartyFowl can’t be bothered to reply to their messages I’m stealing their design and making my own.
Just need some pictures up close to get me started!
Would anyone that has a PartyFowl diaper mind sharing some pictures of it laid out so I can get the shape of the...
Hi lovely people!
Ever since I got my indoor duck two months ago I’ve been researching diapers for her. There’s a lot of options out there but very few actually work. This thread is fellow diaper duck owners to come together and share our thoughts on the diapers we own, what we’d like...
Hi lovely people!
My Muscovy duck is about to turn 7 weeks and while I’m 90% sure she’s a girl I figured I’d ask the experts just to be sure before I start training her to come when her name is called haha.
The reason I think she’s a girl is because when compared to the other one I had (who...
Hi lovely people!
I’m gonna make this short, but I’ll give details when asked!
6 weeks ago I hatched a duckling that was the only one left from the eggs I incubated. Since he was alone I got him a friend from the hatchery his egg came from. However now he has passed so his sister is all alone...
Hi lovely people!
I’m seeking out others in Ontario that have Muscovy ducks. I myself am near Toronto, bout an hour and a half north west in a small town.
The reason I’m asking is because there’s a small possibility I might have to rehome one of my duckies :(
It’s a long story but the gist...
Hi lovely people!
4 weeks ago yesterday I hatched out a beautiful little Muscovy duckling. He was from a batch of double yolkers that I was trying to hatch, and as the only single he was the only one that survived. He was malpositioned and did externally pip, but I had to get him out of the egg...

Hi lovely people!
My Muscovy babies are 3 weeks tomorrow and getting big fast! We had our first bath tub swim yesterday as opposed to their shallow kiddy pool and they LOVED diving down to the bottom! I’d love to get them some small feeder fish but just afraid they’re too young for those still...
One of my 13 day old ducklings just slipped and his left leg seems to be pulling to the side. Should I be worried? It’s not out of its socket or anything, just seems to kinda be sliding out like he’s doing the split with one leg. He’s already a little handicapped so I’m just worried about him...
One of my two ducklings just slipped and now his left leg is kinda sticking out to the side. Did he just pull a muscle and will it go back to normal on its own or should I worry about spraddle leg? I’ve already looked it up and found out how to correct it but I have no clue if it would even work...
Hi lovely people!
I was wondering if anyone here has experience with traveling with their birds from North America to Europe? I’m currently living in Canada and will be going to school in the UK in September. Of course my dog will come with me but I also have two Muscovy ducks that I wanna take...
Im sitting with them as we speak, just changed their pee pads in the brooder while letting them run around. Made them a little bath and he had a little splash while hunting for some tiny bits of veggies and when he came out he started shaking his head and the mash I feed them flew everywhere...
Hi lovely people!
I hatched out a Muscovy duckling last week, and he appears to be a little lopsided? He’s perfectly happy and healthy and eats like tomorrow will never come, so it doesn’t seem to affect him that way. He is however a bit slower than his sister and because he tilts to the left...
Hi lovely people!
For the last two months I've been stalking this website trying to gather information to start a research project. And this past Monday, it was finally time for me to start! I figured I would post a thread in this forum so those interested can follow along, as well as a quick...
Hi lovely people!
I've been trying to google if humidity packs can be used to regulate humidity during artificial incubation and can't seem to find anything. Am I just looking in the wrong spot or is there a reason I can't find anything on it?
I'm looked into using the Boveda humidity packs...
In preparation for my hatching experiment I figured I’d get a head start and get working on a brooder box for when the chicks hatch. While looking online for a brooder I noticed they all are either expensive or just don’t look durable. So I figured I’d make my own!
It’s super cheap and it only...
Hi lovely people!
Quick question.
I farm sit for a wonderful lady that’s got a bunch of chickens and roosters that all roam together in the barn, however not once *knock on wood!!!!!!!* have any of her roosters shown aggression towards me except for the two turkeys when I bring a scoop of feed...
Hi lovely people!
Newbie here! I’ll be hatching some little ones for a personal research experiment and while I’ve gotten pretty far on reading about how to hatch babies, I’m not sure on what to feed them once they hatch!
I’m hatching quails and Muscovy ducks, so I’d like to know what people...
I’ve been trying to find the target weight loss for incubating quail eggs but can’t find a set answer, just what people use themselves. I’m still learning to navigate the site so maybe I’m just not looking right.
So what’s the target weight loss for quails, total and weekly?
I’ve only...
