I need some advice on trimming my three Muscovy Drake's toenails, because their nails are growing so long that they are turning to the side and I already tried to trim them with a dog nail trimmer but I realized that the quick goes all the down since I accidentally cut the quick on one of my...

No I am NOT joking. That is strange about her body shape though, I have no idea.

She is a Crested Runner Duck .

So, if anyone of you guys remember that I have a hydrophobic (yes really!) 12 pound Muscovy Drake named General Lee. Well it has been a very long time since he actually took a really nice bath and his white plumage is all scruffy and caked with mud. The problem is that he is my show duck and I...

I am so glad there are more people wanting something like this !!

Don't you think that people that own different types of poultry besides chickens, under Other BackYard Poultry, should have a topic called Pictures & Stories of My Ducks, Geese, Ornamental Fowl, Turkeys etc. Because the topic is called Pictures & Stories of My Chickens and only Chicken owners...

I once had baby Muscovy like that, it was the smallest of the ducklings I ordered. We had named him 'Gary Coleman' after the famous one lol and he certainly had more personality then the rest of the flock. Sadly, one day our Weimeraner decided she was going to have a snack and she got him out...

Names Please lol!! When are you going to name them? Congratulations on your babies .

This is what I did with my Muscovies when they were little and still do it today with them as adults. The 1st thing, I would do is when they started doing that is pull my hand away, gently slap them on the bill and yell NO!! After a few times of doing that, some of them stopped doing it for...

I wonder if my three drakes will do the same this spring !!

My Muscovy Drake, General Lee, bill is red and also he is also the alpha drake of the flock also. The other Drakes, Ping and Amour, their bills are different too! Ping's bill is light red and Amour's is pink just like the hens. . .I never noticed how red General Lee's bill was after reading this...

So, I was reading Wired Science today and came upon this awesome Muscovy article. . . .enjoy!! Who knew that Muscovy Ducks had another cool thing about them . http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/12/muscovy-duck-sex/

WE DIFFIDENTLY SHOULD !!

How may hens do you plan on having? Yeah, my hens lay around 2 eggs a day and I think you would have plenty eggs for the weekend then.

Muscovy Ducks do not lay as many eggs compared to Campell and Runner Ducks. Muscovies average 50-125 eggs a year, while a Campell is 250-325 and a Runner is 150-300. But if it is an egg laying breed that you want, I would suggest getting the one of the other ducks but Muscovies are good in my...

Thank you all for sending responses to this topic and I agree with Taylor in saying "I don't think the government is going to go to every single person's house seeing if they have Muscovies or not." But I think they should to do this for people that live in Florida, the state that has problems...

I have read recent BYC messages from various Muscovy Duck owners saying that Muscovies are going to become illegal own. Is this going become into law soon? Also is this going to be a national law or just specific areas of the of the country? Please send me more information about this and send me...

All my ducks eat ice and snow. . .however when it is Delilah she LOVES to eat cubes from the freezer.

Well, one of my Muscovy hens whose name is Delilah, her new favorite treat is ice-cubes. I break them up into bite size pieces for her and put them in my hand and she goes crazy over them !! Strangely the others don't seem to be fascinated by them as she does but I was wondering if other duck...

I believe, if that if your family will handle your ducklings every day for a couple hours and train them to get used to you, then I think any duck (or any breed of poultry) will extremely friendly towards human contact. I did that with my Muscovies when they were little and now that they are...
