Thanks everyone. I have separated them. Tonto has the big fenced area and the females are free ranging around. Yet they can still interact through the fence with each other. Hopefully, she will begin to heal and he will calm down. All advice is really appreciated :)
Yeah, we bought a female muscovy called Goose about two weeks after I found Tonto. This year they had 6 children together, three boys and three girls. Two of the girls we have kept. Plus there is the Indian runner and welsh harlequin. But, unfortunately, Tonto's favourite to mate is the Welsh...
Hello everyone, I wanted to thank you for all of your help in taking care of my Muscovy.
Tonto is now two years old and the leader of the flock (his development photos can be seen below). Unfortunately, the roles have reversed and he is beginning to harm my welsh harlequin, Charlette. He...
Hi,
thanks again guys.
He has fresh feed, water and hay.
we have booked an appointment with the vet tonight (the vet said he really likes ducks and that last week he had a duck with a split beak).
This duck is also costing us a pretty penny but we know it is worth it.
He also has total privacy...
Thanks,
my sister and I have taken him to the vet and the vet states that he has bumble foot.
He is returning to the vet tomorrow for help.
Thanks guys for the support and advice.
I think he might be ok.
Hi,
I have rescued a duck from a nearby park.
He has:
. a swollen left ankle and cant walk
. a respiratory disease because discharge is coming out of his eyes, nose and mouth. His eyes are infected, doesn't clean his face
. wet and falling out feathers
. struggles with physical activity

Yes he does
I own one welsh harlequin and one indian runner.
Although, when I tried to put him in with my ducks, my indian runner loved him but my welsh harlequin bullied him and pulled all of his feathers and baby fur out.
So he has his own area and I am slowly introducing him to them.
I am...
This is a photo of my muscovy when I first rescued him.
My sister and I believe he is a French White Muscovy Duck.
When we first got him he didn't have any feathers on his wings but I think that was because he was malnourished.
After giving him some feed he is beginning to grow feathers now.

Hello,
I recently rescued a muscovy duck that was dumped on the side of the road.
My sister and I believe he is 9-11 weeks of age so I am feeding him chick starter mixed with a grain mix that I feed to my other full grown ducks.
He gets the occasional lettuce but is this the right food to give...
