    Scovy laying question

    Just in case anyone was curious for an update... She is still laying all over the place but like I said I'm not too concerned about it. We have supplied her with a box out of the way of the chickens and people but she doesn't seem too fussed on the idea of laying in there. We are finding eggs...

    Badly broken leg Muscovy

    Hey guys this will be my last post in this thread, thank you to everyone who is still following. Today I went to change his dressing and after closer inspection it appears that the break has healed. There are no apparent sharp or loose bone fragments under the skin. The break site is fully...

    This is a bit of a yucky question but what did it smell like?

    Scovy laying question

    She has just started to lay and yes it's her first time. it's mid way through spring here. I'm going to let her sit on them. She seems to have a hard time deciding where to make a nest though. It's nice to know this behaviour is normal. I'm extremely attached to her so although her behaviour is...

    Scovy laying question

    Hey guys firstly hello to all the wonderful people on BYC!! I have a scovy who is an inside duck and has been raised from the nest by myself, naturally she imprinted on me. My question is this - what is normal laying behaviour for scovies of this nature. I'm just a little concerned because her...

    Badly broken leg Muscovy

    For anyone still following, I covered the little fellow's eyes and examined the break today. The bone seems to have started to set. It is still obviously fractured by touch but rather than dangling limp it has fixed itself to the hip again. It's obvious there will be some alignment issues but...

    Badly broken leg Muscovy

    Another question that just occurred to me is what if the leg doesn't set and heal properly? Is it possible the duck can survive and carry around a limp leg for the rest of its life?

    Badly broken leg Muscovy

    As soon as it happened I set the leg back and splinted it. I put the duck into a box on some towels with water and food right at its beak but over night it pulled the splint off and it popped the leg out because it was carrying on trying to escape. That's the only reason I taped it up. If the...

    Badly broken leg Muscovy

    Hello wonderful people, I have somewhat of a difficult situation regarding a duckling with a pretty bad femur fracture. I've written a very long description as to include as much info as possible but if I've missed anything please ask. We adopted a 5 week old scovy that has spent all of its...

    Muscovy owners please help!!

    I have never owned a pet before in my entire life. Growing up I had a dog but she was not an animal that craved human attention. I never had a second thought about the big issues surrounding treatment of animals. Since owning this beautiful duck I have found myself taking interest in animal...

    Muscovy owners please help!!

    Thank you, I'm so glad I joined this forum. People don't really understand how much personality ducks have until you actually have one imprint on you. My friends think we are so strange for keeping a duck so it's nice to meet some people who appreciate how beautiful they are.

    If as many people as possible could watch and tell me what you think that would be amazing. I think I'm addicted to filming the pure cuteness now.

    Muscovy owners please help!!

    She is always with one of us. A friend is definitely something we want to get for Ferg but for now she will just have to put up with me and my partner haha. Tonight Ferg is in one of the usual cranky and bitey moods so I will take a video of her behaviour, get some close ups, I'll get a shot of...

    Muscovy owners please help!!

    I've actually successfully stopped the naughty behaviour by turning him, her, whatever, upside down until I get calmness then she, him seems to settle. So thank you for that. I've uploaded some photos of Fergus on outside and one of him/her on her belly scratching a nest out of paper. Tell me...

    Muscovy owners please help!!

    Ok guys I feel very silly right now but it appears that Fergus may actually be a Fergy. He/she is making nests!!! I swear that Fergus had ticked every single box of male behaviour and now this!! Is this normal? I didn't know females acted so aggressive. No eggs yet but we have found 3...

    Muscovy owners please help!!

    Oh don't get me started on his poo. One night while I was in bed he jumped up on the bench and got into an open Milo tin. I don't know how much he ate but the next day he was covered head to toe and his water was Milo sludge. His poo was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen haha. Thank you...
