    Frizzle?

    I have some chicks that look similar to the ones posted here. If they are not frizzles, does that mean they are normal? Or is there a problem with them? Nutrient deficiency or something causing the feathers to not lay flat?

    What are these spots on my ducks bill?!?

    To confirm, the freckles are nothing to be concerned about, or is there a supplement I should be giving my girl? My Pekin hen recently got freckles as well. She's 9 months old.

    What sex are my 5 months old muscovy ducks

    I was wondering about that. I knew they matured slower than Pekins and my pretty girl has been laying for a while now.

    What sex are my 5 months old muscovy ducks

    The lady I got these two from definitely had some larger, drakier looking drakes onsite. They were huge and long and their heads were clearly more warty(?), but they may have been older.

    What sex are my 5 months old muscovy ducks

    I hijacked this thread... my two muscovies are *supposedly* 7 months and *supposedly* hens, but so far I've had several people suggest that one or both are drakes. Especially the one with the white head. Their wings are not clipped yet. We are thinking of clipping just until they get used to...

    What sex are my 5 months old muscovy ducks

    I'm frankly hoping that everyone can eventually be together. Right now, the Pekin drake is Captain Bad Touch, but I'm hoping that adding more duck ladies will chill him a bit. All of my original birds are 8 months, so hormones are still a new thing. But I'm only 8 months in on this too, so I...

    What sex are my 5 months old muscovy ducks

    Like my Pekin LOL... fatty... These two muscovies came from a lady with a bunch of ducks, chickens, geese and turkeys. It looked like a free-for all. They were being sold for meat.

    It's possible that she's trying to sound tough because we "kidnapped" her and brought her to a new place with new birds. We've only had them 4 days.

    Still crossing my fingers that both muscovies are hens lol

    What sex are my 5 months old muscovy ducks

    My Pekins seem to love each other, but the drake is like a horny teenager and even though the Pekins grew up with the chickens, now the drake is trying to attack and/or mate them so now I have them separated and I'm trying to get more girls for him.

    What sex are my 5 months old muscovy ducks

    I mean, I'm loving the ducks so much, and we have plenty of room, so.... yay more ducks? Unless Noodle turns out to just be a really butch hen. My top chicken hen acts a bit roostery since we have no rooster, but she is for sure a hen.

    What sex are my 5 months old muscovy ducks

    I had the pair of Pekins and was attempting to add two more hens, but then suspected the one was actually a drake and now I'm in a pickle.

    What sex are my 5 months old muscovy ducks

    I totally hijacked this thread :confused: My Pekin drake Zira is bigger than usual, I think. He was labeled "assorted duck" at TSC, so who knows??? But he's my good poofy boy and I love him. I am absolutely enthralled with the muscovies though! I think if the white-headed one (Noodle) turns...

    Seriously, thank you so much for the help!

    What sex are my 5 months old muscovy ducks

    Tried to get some better pictures. They are still pretty shy, but meeting the rest of the flock last night helped, I think. This gives an idea of their size compared to my Pekins and chickens. My drake is a fatty. The muscovies are about the size of the hen Pekin.

    Maybe this video will be helpful! You can hear their calls and get a better feel for body shape.

    What sex are my 5 months old muscovy ducks

    My bad, my drake is a Pekin. I should have said. This is my first experience with muscovies. The peeping is more of a trilling? Chirping? They are both almost stepping on their own feet. When I get home, I will try to get some better photos. Thank you so much for the help!
