Hey there! I’m in a similar situation as the OP, trying to rehome a muscovy drake in the Houston area. If you’d be interested, I’m happy to provide more information, just let me know!
I’m currently located in HTX and have a 3-year-old muscovy drake that I’ve raised since he was a baby that I’m trying to rehome. He’s very affectionate and good with people, though can be aggressive and territorial at times. Unfortunately I’ll be moving to another country in September, and can’t...
I have almost the exact same problem with my duck, minus the females. Wanted to keep tabs on this thread cuz if you get any good advice I want to use it too. I've seen way too many people saying "just eat him" or something along those lines.
Hello everyone! This is my first time posting about my now 6 month old drake. For all intents and purposes, he has been absolutely lovely until very recently. The majority of the time he's a snuggly little boo, but he's started attacking myself and some family members, biting (not nipping) and...
nope, he died. got a new one though and she's just the most precious thing. my heart goes out to that poor baby, but part of me thinks his spirit lives on somewhere else
I have three eggs I'm incubating now, two have started giving off the faintest malodor. They don't smell very bad, but it's a noticeable stink. I have them separated from my other egg by cardboard. Should I toss them out and try to save the healthy egg? Any advice appreciated.
In a strange turn of events, I have become the parent to a single wobbly muscovy duckling. I found him at a duck pond I frequent nearly buried in dirt, laying on the ground with no other ducks within 20+ feet. I know his breed only because muscovies are the only ducks at that particular pond...
Ok I think I’m just paranoid, but I’m so worried about this little guy. He’s a rescued duck egg that I estimate to be on about day 25. I haven’t seen him move in a couple of days, when previously I’ve seen him bustling around 24/7. I don’t know if his air sac is big enough, and there’s a...
I've had this egg for nearly two weeks. He was a rescue so I don't now exactly how old he is, but I think we're at about day 25. He's the usual dark mass taking up most of the shell, but I don't see him moving anymore and I can't make out the large veins that used to surround him. Is he dead, or...
I've bought a hygrometer/thermometer, but I can't seem to get the humidity right. Is it better to have it too high or too low, if I can't get it perfect?
I found him in a regular community lake area with only malllards, pekins, and muscovys, so there's only three possibilities other than hybrids. I have a homemade incubator, aka an awful one, so I don't know the exact temperature or humidity. I'm trying to keep up the humidity by misting...
Okay so I found two abandoned duck nests (flooded with water during heavy rain) that i had come across about a month before. Out of the 22 eggs I initially took, only one has shown real signs of life. He’s the only one in my incubator now. I need to know how he is so I can put him on lockdown at...
