    I'm sorry but I have no experience in killing or plucking ducks. You may want to ask someone else :)

    Muscovy ducks will often fly around, if not away. Though my duck, Cuddles, is extremely tame, she flew to the neighbours. (I got her back) I reccomend that you clip the duckling's wings, but if you are not worried, dont do it. I personally would though.

    You can't really tell the age until they are a bit older. Beautiful ducks though!

    If they are flying, I recommend clipping their wings, but if they look like they are not ready for clipping, I would wait a few weeks.

    Yay! You know what's funny about that? My duck Bubbles stopped laying and she just started back as well! Maybe it's something to do with the climate, I'm in New Zealand so the same seasons as Aussie :) Congrats on her laying!

    About 4-6 weeks is right. You can see changes by the week, and the boys will be significantly bigger and have wider feet and legs. The girls, however, will start to grow their wings before the males start, and will also be smaller. Hope this helped.

    Well if you do end up with only two ducks, the males won't kill them. But, having more drakes than females means that the drakes will fight. It's nothing bad, but they will pluck a few feathers. But keep in mind that the two that are smaller than the rest, may actually be runts. Message me if...

    Hi all! I just wanted to let you know that you don't just have to ask questions. You can also just talk about your muscovy, as I like to talk anything about ducks :) Otherwise, I'm still open for questions ;)

    Yay! Little babies are growing wings :) The signs you need to clip their wings are when they flap them and lift just the slightest bit off the ground. Trust me, I thought my duck Bubbles couldn't fly as I had seen her only just lift off the ground, and the next morning she was outside the pen. I...

    By the way, as I have never owned a Peking duck, I'm not the best person to ask. So ask someone who owns them, but it doesnt sound like too much. Just watch over her.

    Hmm.. I don't think you should be worried about her, as my female who isn't broody was laying just fine and has now stopped. But I recommend that you pick her up and feel underneath her in case she is egg bound. Its extremely unlikely, but if you feel a lump, I heard you can put them in warm...

    Yes, they will. Especially if that's the only female, as the male might like to see his lady lol. I have heard of males even sitting on the nest while the mother is off, so what you are seeing is not unusual.
