okay thank you very much.

yes I figured they would have problems without nutrition and I really was just listening to the woman at the supply store but I am now feeling extremely guilty that I may have potentially caused health issues and death for my birds. their water is deep enoughh for them and they even try to swim...

those two did lay eggs and my remaining female has a few times but not as consistent as the others. I will improve their diet with a real feed. I do not give them oyster shell.

I went down to check and it is chicken scratch. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to give them that. I had 4 ducks and they had a dog dish full of that and then they free ranged all day. The person at the farm supply store told me it was okay to give them that but I'm reading that it's not...

I am giving them chicken feed.

I don't think she was attacked. She was just walking around the night I came home and found the other one missing. The other 2 we're down at the coop ready for bed. The surviving two seem okay. For weeks the ones who have died seemed off but they were always very tame so I thought they were just...

Hey everyone. So this week I lost a duck to a fox when they were free ranging in the evening (not sure why it didn't kill all 4 of my ducks, but I saw the fox coming back shortly after) so since then I was nervous and I kept them fenced in in their coop. The one that was killed had seemed off...

I am trying to find some answers on what to do but I'm not getting any explanations on whats happening to him. Last night (I posted about it) my two males started fighting and the girls started biting his penis (which i just thought was funny) and so i separated the two males and when i let them...

I'm so upset! I have 5 muscovys, I got 3 at first and one got eaten so we got 3 more from a different farm and although the new and the old fought a bit at first, they all ended up getting along, and you guys know how it is when you first get ducklings- it's so hard to tell male and females so...

Hey friends, I have 5 spoiled rotten muscovy ducks, I live in Ontario, Canada and the winter gets pretty cold so we have a heat lamp in their coop to prevent their water from freezing. their water is in a deep litter box and doesn't freeze but everytime I go in their coop they need new water! I...

thankfully you were right!! I found it this morning (they were running around with it again) but I couldn't last night which is what scared me, just did a sweep of their pen and didn't find anything else, THANK GOODNESS.

I didn't really see her eat it but she was running with it in her mouth so we tried to chase her and then it was gone- it was a red cap and I couldn't find it anywhere and I assumed she ate it. Those little buggers scarf down things if you start to chase them to get it. She's the smallest one...

I was cleaning out my duck coop with my mother in law and she must have thrown her beer cap on the ground and one of my ducks ate it! its 7 pm here and I dont know what to do! she's just a little muscovy, is she going to die? I read that if ducks eat metal it will probably result in death. I'm...

AW! I have a brown one like that- CAM! he's super fiesty lol!

I'm new to having ducks and I don't know if it's turkey vultures or hawks circling my pen! They're all black and HUGE. We have a dead porcupine on the opposite side of the yard and I saw one eating it but if they know where a carcass is why are they flying over the pen? My muscovys are almost...

I have 5 muscovy ducks, two 6 weeks and three 4 weeks old. They have a coop that they obviously get locked in at night and the coop is penned in but does not have a cover on top. WE live in the country and are surrounded by bush. I'm not sure if its a good idea to leave the coop door open and...

omg thats horrible :( a raccoon killed my poor Bill. he was the sweetest thing ever!

great thank you I will!

i guess HE needs a new name now haha

that makes me feel so relieved, we were worried we had two males.
