    Muscovy keepers share your pics!

    You know what... Two of them actually have a browner shade to their fuzz than the other three, and on their neck/stomach where they are growing feathers, there is a brown tint to it. I'm not an expert, but at least one may end up chocolate

    Sorry, don't think so. Both mom and dad were black and white pied I believe. But they are still gorgeous and extremely personable

    Hey guys, Unfortunately I can't keep my 5 beautiful six week old muscovies. Is anyone hear interested in having them? I want to make sure they go somewhere where they will stay safe and happy. I hatched and raised them all myself. They are just the sweetest things ever with wonderful and...

    5 Beautiful Six Week Old Muscovy Ducks! Houston area

    Hello all, I have 5 extremely friendly six week old muscovies. I hatched and raised them myself, and they are literally the sweetest things ever! Unfortunately I can no longer keep them, and want to give them to someone who can care for them and keep them safe and happy. If you are that...

    I posted these pics in the incubation thread after they hatched, but they seem more suitable here. Can't wait for them to grow up :)

    Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

    So, here are the babies!!! I am absolutely in love with them. It's a bummer the 6th one didn't make it, especially when it was so close. They are all almost identical, so unfortunately naming them is out of the question (which sucks because I had been thinking of some cute names...

    Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

    With these guys, even when I put my finger in the brooder the scamper away. With my previous two muscovies, they never passed the opportunity to nibble on my fingers whenever they had the chance. And these definitely can't be anything other than muscovies. EDIT: oh btw, the last two eggs...

    Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

    This isn't really about eggs and incubation, but I'd like to get some input from some fellow muscovy enthusiasts: For some reason, the three ducklings that have hatched get very startled by me, especially when I hover over the brooder. In general, it doesn't seem like they are as imprinted on...

    Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

    Lacrystol, both of those guys are now out!! And no, that one didn't pip on the wrong end. It had just pipped toward the floor of the incubator rather than upward. Kathy told me to flip him over, so I gave it a 180 degree turn. This morning when I checked, his beak was farther out and wiggling...

    Finally got a hold of my camera and managed to get a decent pic. What do you think?

    Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

    Okay, I just flipped it over. If I recall correctly, this was the one with a small air sac. I think he may not have room to wiggle around and zip in there. I'm planning on helping it out if it doesn't make any progress by the end of the night. Is that a sound decision, or am I just being rash?

    The hole is on that X, with the beak hanging out upside down, facing the floor of the incubator.

    Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

    Should I flip it over so the hole is facing up? Should I help it? Please help!!!

    Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

    Sorry, currently don't have a camera to post pics with. But it's literally just a hole on the bottom of the round end rather than the top half. Should I intervene?

    Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

    Another concern: One of the eggs has external pipped on the bottom side of the egg (it's on the right end -- the round end -- but the pip is on the bottom instead of the top of the egg). Does this need help? I think this one's air sac was smaller than average before lockdown.

    Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

    I checked this morning at 8 AM and saw that he had made some improvement on the zipping and was chirping away. At 11 AM I saw there was no movement or chirping, so I took a look and he was dead in the shell. He was fully developed with the egg yolk completely absorbed. I'm a little bit depressed...

    Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

    Quick question: One of the other eggs that had external pipped 28 hours ago began cracking some of the shell (not much) proximal to the external pip bump about 6-7 hours ago, and then stopped. It hasn't made any improvement since, but the egg occasionally rocks. Should I be worried? I've heard...

    How to make a friendly duck

    From my experience with ducks, I would say it's too late to make them friendly enough to let you pick them up. But by spending time outside with them and feeding them, you could get them to stop bolting and come near you. I've learned that if you spend time with your ducks on a daily basis...
