    Muscovy females fighting

    One of my muscovy females is broody at the moment and has been attacking the other female on the neck. I know its mating behavior but both are females...and the one she is going after runs and runs to get away making so noise. I went over tonight and she hid between my legs with her head buried...

    Sick Muscovy

    Oh no! We have 3 muscovy females. They are together always...ALWAYS. Today, one would not come out of her coop with the others. I looked in and she looked like she was trying to sleep (beak buried in wings). I her out and put her with the other 2 and she was fine for 2 hours...roaming the...

    I have to post because I am so excited....and no one in my 'real life' would get it 🤣....my girls laid their first eggs! I did not expect it as its January and freezing cold here in PA! But I was adding more straw to their bedding today and saw 2 eggs! One must have been there from yesterday...

    Hay vs straw

    Which do I want for the duck coop? We had sand all summer which was wonderful...and then added leaves in the fall...which they loved...but I wanted something more insulating for our ladies in the winter here in PA. I swear I read straw will cut their feet? Maybe I'm making that up in my mind...

    Muscovy love

    no real point of this other than to say....muscovy ducks are so darn fun Aren't skiddish...so quiet...and that little head bob tail wag! Ahhhh! We had buffs but sadly one was extremely loud and our neighbors are a bit close so a friend who recently lost a duck needed friends for the...

    Muscovy feed

    I seem to be finding inconsistent information about what to feed muscovy ducks. Ours are 7 weeks and on starter. When do they switch to layer, I guess the differing info is because they lay much later than other ducks?

    Muscovy

    As it goes...I think we are adding 2 or 3 muscovy to the flock 😂 the ones we are looking at are only one month. Any reliable way of sexing at this age?

    Fence

    Today...our ducks found their way in to the neighbors yard...twice 😳. They were digging with their head down and walking...and when they looked up...were in another yard lol. But it can't keep happening. We have a chainlink fence around our property but it was there when we moved in and while...

    ME again... Our 3 buff ducks are doing great! They are outside and loving it! 3 months old. But one of them is SO loud! Like :duc! As soon as anyone is outside...even out front when they can't see you but I guess can hear the door open...she goes nuts. And forget it if she looks up and is...

    Duck Crop

    One of our ducks seemed to have a big bulge on her neck. Researching I found crop issues. So I followed some tips for a day and then over the next 3 days...the other 2 ducks seemed to follow. Now I am wondering if it's just the shape they are 🤔 I have looked up pictures of crop issues in...

    Niacin

    How do you know of there is a niacin issue or they are just young ducklings who decide to plop down? 🤔 they are fed the purina duck pellets but maybe they need more? They run and swim and walk ok...but sometimes they plop down to drink or mid walk. I don't see any signs of bowed legs...

    Kids say the darndest things!

    Thought you all might get a laugh out of this! We got a chicken coop from a friend and we are converting it a bit for our ducks when they 'move out'. Our 6year olds name is Cooper but we often just call him Coop. We couldn't figure out why he was being so strange when we talked about the...

    Treatment Help

    I posted a bit ago about my duckling and it's strange breathing...it has not improved and it is making me so worried. I just hate the thought that there is something I could be doing and am not. It is constant honking with the mouth moving open and shut at every breath. I looked in the mouth...

    Mark on bill

    Our ducklings are 7 days old. From the very first day we had them, one had a mark on its bill. It was definitely noticeable but kind of hard to get a good look at. Now that they are bigger and I can see it, it looks like a gouge? Her bill isn't as big as the others either now that they are...

    New Buffs

    I am new to posting but have been reading for a long time. Such a great place for info!! Our 3 new Buff ducklings arrived today in good health. I've noticed this afternoon, one of them is...well for lack of a better way of saying it...a pain in the a** to the other two lol. She kind of walks...
