Isn't that what layer feed does? I was under the impression that oyster shell on top of layer feed is too much calcium.

i have two pet muscovy females that are indoor/outdoor. They are spoiled rotten by my family members. They just turned 1 year old last week. I just realized they laid from June til now very consistently except for about 2 weeks in November, so they laid about 180 eggs each. I was told that...

I have 2 one year old muscovy ducks (females) that were raised indoors since hatch and spoiled rotten. They jump into my lap for cuddles & peck at me until I pick them up. They are very sweet to people. Recently I acquired another muscovy from a farm that seems to be 2+ years old, and my two...

What were the sex ratio of the three that hatched?

A dozen eggs?? In theory that means I could end up with 10 unwanted ducklings...in your experience, if you order a dozen, how many tend to hatch, realistically?

I have two female muscovy ducks that I raise in my backyard. From my lurking on this website I learned that muscovys are good hatchers/mothers. If I get a few hatching eggs from online and give them to my muscovys, will they hatch them, or would I need an incubator? If they see a random egg...

Yes, for Muscovy ducks

I have never built anything before - I’d imagine something I build to be as atrocious as this monstrosity, if not worse: I’m jealous of your handiness.

I wish I could, but sadly I’m a law student with no useful building skills nor experience. I’m lucky if I can hang a picture frame on the wall correctly.

Thank you for your response! Yeah I’m wondering if my ducks will humor me and waddle up the ramp into the house too...

Hi! I’m wondering if anyone has experience purchasing a premade chicken coop from tractor supply? (Coops like this https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/innovation-pet-deluxe-farm-house-chicken-coop-up-to-8-chickens-1223544?cm_sp=20180829-_-LABOR+DAY-_-Deluxe+Farm+House+Chicken+Coop) Also...

Yeah I found it strange in that in my town ordinance it explicitly says chicken when most other town ordinances say poultry and/or fowl.

I live near Newark! I got my Muscovy from the fifth day farm in PA. From my research that seems to be the closest place.

My female Muscovy at about 28 weeks of age is acting like she’s broody (sitting in a dark quiet place by herself with the eggs under her, aggressive, obsessed with down feathers that fell out) but she is still laying every day. Also I’ve been taking away the eggs every morning so there are no...

My town ordinance explicitly says no chickens & chicken coops allowed - but no mention of ducks. I took this to mean that ducks are not forbidden, and thus my two Muscovies named Kitty Cat & Puppy Dog joined my family. If I build a coop in my backyard which essentially looks like and could...

Because they lurrrve me! And they are so entertaining. I keep them as indoor pets, and sometimes take them to school (diapered, of course) and they sleep on my lap for the duration of the class without a *peep*! The eggs will be a great added benefit I’m sure, but they’re still young and I have...

I knew they weren’t going to be reliable layers - but 80 eggs a year beats 0 eggs a year, right?
