My Muscovy started laying 2 days ago. I've never had ducks so can someone explain to me how long it takes for them to go broody? From what I've read muscovies will lay up to 15 eggs and then set. I just don't know if I should leave her eggs in there to see if she's going to set on them or not.

I just got a new roo on the 12th. The guy I got him from said he didn't have a problem with him being aggressive but he was also with 3 other roos. I have 5 hens in with him. At first the girls didn't have much to do with him. Now he's able to get to some of them and I noticed today he's picked...

I bought a Partridge Rock chick from a local farm store. It seemed fine at first but wouldn't open its eyes often. As the day went on it just kept getting more lethargic and almost non responsive. This morning I thought it had died cause it wasn't moving and was limp when I picked it up but I...

I adopted a duck that is a Muscovy. I already have 1 and think it's a female. She's almost 22 weeks old. This new one I'm not sure if it's a male or female. The muscovies don't have the curl to their tail feathers. It hissed at me. The one I have has never hissed at me. It trills. This is...

Anyone have any tips on how to catch a duck? A lady is giving me a muscovy that showed up at her house and I can't seem to catch it. I'm going back after dark to see if I can find her.

I have a Muscovy hen who is 22 weeks old. She is flying around. I live on a farm so it doesn't bother me but lately she's been getting on top of the houses and I feel that I shouldn't clip her wings so if something gets after her she can get away. Is there a way to discourage her from getting on...
