    What gender is this muscovy?

    Is this a female or a male? This is my first experience with a muscovy. I'm doing research currently but wondering if anyone who's more experienced with the breed can more accurately tell. Long story short, my neighbors couldn't bring themselves to process the bird and offered it to me. I...

    Advice for preventing flystrike on a disabled duck

    Apologies for the long post, For context, two months ago my neighbor's dog dug underneath our fence and attacked my duck. From this, my hen sustained a leg injury that has left her with a permanent limp, but she is otherwise fine and not in pain. Because of this injury, I've noticed that she...

    Hawk identification (pictures included)

    Apologies for the bad pictures, I stopped in front a neighbor's house and took them as fast as I could without looking like a crazy person. Generally, I never really get the chance to see hawks upclose so I really can't tell the difference unless I actually hear them. We do have a pair of red...

They were very tame and you could basically pet them. So I was wondering, does the city place them there or...

    Tips on curbing mallard drake agression?

    For starters, I have a mallard pair which I got at more or less at one week of age. Currently, they're about one year, their birthday is next week. They never exactly imprinted on me and I can walk up to them and pick them up and whatnot. Recently, my Drake has become absolutely terrible. He...

    Can a red shouldered hawk kill a mallard duck?

    I'd never think that I'd have to worry about any other predators other than raccoons, however today I saw more than five hawks circling my house. Upon a quick Google search, I found out that they were red shoulders hawks. My ducks didn't seem to care but my ducklings were terrified. We also...

    Pekin ducklings or muscovy ducklings?

    I own two mallards already and was looking to expand my flock. Stumbled across these adorable guys at TSC and couldn't say no. I've stumbled across some threads that TSC carries muscovies and what people thought were Pekins turned out to be muscovies. Anyway, I can't seem to tell the difference...
