Angel wing
My hen is probably about a week away from hatchlings, given that most of the remaining list is diet related, is there something I can add/ change about this clutch to eliminate those things? -
Angel wing
Yes she is. I think she breaks all the angel wing rules..... female and both wings -

Angel wing
Mine also free range. They have 200 acres ( although they really only use about 20) and a 1 acre pond. I am surrounded by natural forest so tons of bugs..... and they do a great job of clearing them . Barn is always left open so they have free access to shelter and food. I’ve been reading about... -
Angel wing
Yes. This is what I do. I’ve read it’s caused by too much protein in the diet?? -
Angel wing
im wondering if anyone knows how to avoid angel wing in hatchlings. My first clutch of Muscovy has a high rate of it. My second and third not so much, and my forth has one. I feed them duck and Goose starter right from go and then switch to grower. I have a broody hen now and am wondering if I... -

Beautiful runners! I am also in Ontario and raise Muscovy. I had someone contact me recently for Runners but was not sure where he could get them -
First muscovy hatchlings came yesterday
Thanks for all the help with my questions getting through the mating and brooding. Four more hens brooding. Should have more in a week or so. Is it true that first hatched will attack and kill the second and third? -

Muscovy laying
Thank you for replying. I was so confused. This is a first for me and I’m very excited for ducklings! None of the other hens are laying yet. I moved the egg into one of the nests built in the corner of her stall. Is this OK? It was laying right in the middle. How long does it take for her to lay... -
Muscovy laying
I have 5 Muscovy females and 1 drake. They have been mating enthusiastically. This morning I found 1 egg in the middle of the barn stall. Is that it? All the ducks are in the pond and the egg feels cold. Is it rejected? It looks fine. What do I do with it? -
Muscovy Newby
Maybe. I hope that’s it. I did see the 2 fighting but by the time I got to them it had stopped and there was just blood -
Muscovy Newby
Looks like it’s gonna be harder on me than them... lol Thank you for the info tho. It makes me feel a little better -
Muscovy Newby
That is the injury to my one female that was fighting. It bled quite a bit. I’ve been watching it for infection but she seems OK -
Muscovy Newby
Yes. Only 1 drake. Should I be concerned about breeding season? Should I separate them? I got them in October at 3months and have figured a lot out on my own.... they hate romaine lettuce but would do anything for warm peas, don’t try to get them in from the pond if they aren’t ready etc. They... -
Muscovy Newby
He is biting at wings, tails and sometimes neck if he can get his nails into their back. Usually when I see it I go stop him. I haven’t noticed any blood yet from his attacks. Just from the 2 females
