Unreceptive female duck
she is 9 months old. No, she is not laying, none of my ducks are laying. I have 2 Muscovy drakes, 3 Muscovy hens, 1 mixed pair, and I think one mallard pair. -
Unreceptive female duck
I have a female Muscovy duck who fights the males. Every time one tries to breed her she starts yelling at them (for lack of a better word to describe the sound she makes) and beating them with her wings while she chases them. Have you seen this before? -
