Ustream link for my duck eggs
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/seven-little-duck-eggs I had enough requests that I caved and set up a cam. It is not live yet but there is a candling video from 6/18 that is about 11 minutes to watch for now. Estimated hatch date is 6/28 and I will go live 6/26 and leave it up until hatching... -
Market for muscovy mule hens?
For me it would just be for laying purposes without the fear of any unexpected ducklings. I don't want to start any business for it, I just thought it would have been something someone would be doing since it would be the perfect way to have ducks with built in population control! Although if... -
Market for muscovy mule hens?
Lol well I know I could but I don't want to end up with more males! Am I wrong though in thinking that would be something people would want? -
Market for muscovy mule hens?
I would think this would be something desirable but I can't seem to find anything on it! I love having my ducks BUT because there needs to be a balance of males to females it is important to me to not let them hatch out any eggs. Every now and then one will sneak a nest past me and of course... -
Backyard ducks?
I'll let others chime in on this too but in my personal experience it is not ideal to keep chicks and ducks together when they are little because ducks are very messy when they are little and even more when they get bigger. You can put them together once they start getting bigger but for... -
What do you think, sick or injured 2 month pekin not getting better
Lol I know. I think they just say it as a precaution to be honest. I have to look up dosing info for both vitamins, don't want to give her too much or not enough! I'm still doing research on this because I haven't found anything on whether it's better to leave it covered or remove it, I... -

Yeah I remember that being mentioned in a thread so I have gloves to wear when preparing it just in case. I'll start her soaks tonight and hopefully that will help along with everything else! -

Woohoo, the Tricide-neo came today!!! -
What do you think, sick or injured 2 month pekin not getting better
Her hock is still swollen but not as big and not as much heat. I don't believe I got everything but progress seems to be there just a little at a time. Because I still worry about cutting something that I shouldn't I am waiting for the Tricide-neo stuff, it's ordered just waiting for it to get... -

TY Amiga, I had thought about D being possible but in the years I've had ducks I've never had it be an issue so seeing it is definitely different, especially because she didn't start out with that, it developed after her leg started having issues, although it would make sense will all she's been... -

Still seems about the same but I took video of her in the bath. Ignore the yellow water, I added the duramycin to it because she always drinks the bath water as it's filling and I am trying to make sure she gets as much of the stuff as possible. I'm not worried right now about her pathetic... -

Thank you, it serves its purpose at least. I did call Duravet, they only have it broken down to 1 gallon and couldn't tell me what would be considered an effective amount since the instructions are just to let them drink as is. She did suggest something that they tell people who use this for... -
Muscovy keepers share your pics!
I don't think anyone dropped them off at the house but that doesn't mean they didn't dump them in the creek that leads to our house lol. We frequently find extra ducks here from time to time, they get dumped along the creek and while searching for food or safe place they end up finding our... -

Muscovy keepers share your pics!
I assume mule as well since it is 100% that he is a male but with no caruncles I figured he may not be full muscovy, plus he's not huge like I've seen with other muscovy males. I wouldn't be able to isolate him with any other girls right now but the one that he's currently with since... -

That's what I'm hoping! lol -
What do you think, sick or injured 2 month pekin not getting better
Since yesterday there is still heat but not nearly as much as it had been and while there was still some drainage it was not as swollen either which is better than nothing right now. Her sling/chair is 9 1/2" high 15" long, 12" wide. I adjusted according to her and what she seemed... -
What do you think, sick or injured 2 month pekin not getting better
I actually thought about that too! I was going to put the solution into either a bag or cup and have her sit in the sling chair with the bag secured to her leg or the cup underneath with me holding it. I didn't want to risk her drinking it and it seems everyone else using that stuff did the... -

Thank you Bickering. She definitely makes it easier to do all the work I am by being as sweet as she is lol. Okay new question. I don't feel like she drinks enough water to get a good dose of the Duramycin. She drinks of course, just seems like it's not a lot to me. I'm going to call...
