So I've been using a large basin for my muscovies to wash themself. It's big enough for 2 ducks but since we have 5 they have to take turns using it. I'm thinking of swapping the basin with a large kiddie pool, but I'm worried that their sharp claws will puncture it. Anyone have experience using...
One of my scovies just started laying for the first time. She laid 1 egg a day all over the place :lol:. How long will she keep laying? I read they stop laying in winters but I live in a tropical area. Do they just "take a break" from laying from time to time?
Good to know, thanks! :) Now I just need to find a way to stop Jumbo (the other drake) from trying to mate with Chomper. We have 3 females but he just loves to chase Chomper around. :confused:

Greetings everyone! :frow
I'm a relatively new duck owner living in Indonesia, all the way on the other side of the world. English is not my native language so my apologies in advance if my English is a little bit off.
With that being said, I've been lurking in BYC for a few months now ever...
