Will do. Thank you very much for your help!

Thank you. 8 of 11 have hatched already. She is able to cover them all. The ducklings food and water is located approximately one foot from the entrance to the nest. I have placed momma duck's food and water slightly to the side and elevated up on landscaping bricks. The ducklings cannot enter...

Hello BYC, Seeking wisdom from experienced Muscovy owners. My hen has set and the eggs are hatching. Its the end of January in the Ozarks. I am concerned for the ducklings with the temperatures due to dip back into the 20s by tomorrow. It has been in the mid 60s for the last 3 days. The nest is...

D'Artagnan is the WORST! Please don't recommend this company to others. If you wish for duck meat, buy it local. D'Artagnan: 1) charges an arm and a leg. 2) then charges ANOTHER arm and a leg for shipping. 3) Their "sales" and "free/discounted shipping" sales are a complete joke. 4) I have...

Alright Y'all, I am posting. If a young'n says they ain't gonna give you their location: RESPECT AND ENCOURAGE THAT! Even if said young'n points to their parental units as the reason for withholding said information. Not only are they being safe, minding their parents, and doing the right...

It doesn't seem to want to upload pics from my phone. I will take some photos with the camera and get them uploaded. They aren't heritage RIR. Some of my boys also strut and crow. They started that about two weeks ago. Well, they are working on their crows. Ridiculously cute to hear them...

Right on! Thank you both so much! I know that the boys far outnumber the girls, and I wish to separate them now before my little ladies get hurt. Chuck can't be everywhere at all times. (Bless that silly confused duck.) Thanks again!

Another question regarding the standing up with their head raised all proud.... I thought that would be an easy tell-tale. But as soon as any of us with opposable thumbs walks outside, everyone with feathers comes running. Treats are expected, yes. We spoil them. But everyone has their heads up...

Thank you Gita! I have at least 3 who I am so certain are pullets whose tails stick up. But only up. Thank you for the "up then down" info. I have been looking at their legs. But I have only been looking at thickness. I guess right now, with my first batch of chicka-chickas I tend to spend...

**And I really do NOT wish to post pics of everyone in question. I strongly suspect that the BR rooster (4.5 months old) is my best bet for identifying the pullets:as in he lets them eat and drink with him. But Chuck (the Pekin chicken-duck, duck not a drake) is pretty quick to put an end to...

Hello, BYC! I have been lurking the forums for a long while. This is the first time I have ever had chickens (or ducks, Muscovys...so cute!) My chickens are Production Reds. Got them at a steal at 6 days old from someone who didn't care for them properly. Thankfully, all my research and BYC...

Dead thread, but I sincerely hope you listened to first responder and addressed their coop/run temp. Chickens look hot in photos. Overheated.
