    Ended Official 2021 BYC Other Fowl Molt Contest

    Yes, I think you should - here is my Muscovy Drake during his 1st molt - I had no idea what was happening to him until I contacted a rescue group and they told me he was molting!

    8 week old Muscovy duckling constantly sits

    Thank you for responding but this has been going on for too long - more than just having a day or two of fun that is tiring her out. All our other ducklings are acting 'normal' walking/running around she is the only one that is constantly laying down, and as I said, it appears to be a struggle...

    8 week old Muscovy duckling constantly sits

    We feel there is something seriously wrong with our 8-week old Muscovy duckling as she will not walk very much. She seemed perfectly normal before she started constantly laying down, about 6 days ago. After the first day of noticing this, we took her down to our local wildlife care center and...

    Help! Our muscovy drake is extremely lethargic and chest seems swollen

    We came home last night at 10:30 to find our 6 month old male moscovy laying under our Palm trees and he would not get up for nothing which is extremely unusual. We brought him inside our patio and he spent the entire night and entire day just laying down, and his chest looks a little swollen to...

    Aggressive Muscovy Drake

    Hi thanks for responding ... he's in a flock of like 14 ducks, 7 are his siblings and then 7 other ducks. I know it is illegal to transport Muscovies anywhere else and I really don't want to do that, I just don't want him ending up hurt. I have him penned up for now on my patio, but we're going...

    Aggressive Muscovy Drake

    I live on a small lake in a residential area, and for the most part my ducks have stayed in my backyard but now they are wandering out front and my one Drake is going after the neighbors pecking at them and biting them when they're trying to walk, so If we can't get him to stop, we thought one...

    Aggressive Muscovy Drake

    Help! My 5 month old Muscovy drake has gotten aggressive with my neighbors when they're out walking and one has threatened to harm him 😩 how can I stop this behavior? I thought I'd start to confine him again for his own safety but not sure if that's a good option. If I rehome him 7 miles away...

    My Muscovy Duck is Limping!

    I do not know he feels about 4 lbs - he is 4 months old and quite large. I don't think he has a niacin deficiency I fed him the appropriate duck crumble growing up, his legs appear to be strong and straight I feel he is injured - in getting in and out of the lake there are lots of rocks ...

    My Muscovy Duck is Limping!

    I have 15 mg tablets, I did give him the equivalent of 3 mg (from researching dosage for ducks on the internet) - hopefully, that was ok and sufficient enough ... he is 4 months old but quite large

    My Muscovy Duck is Limping!

    No I don't know why, his leg does not appear to be broken, he will stand for short brief periods, but limps when he walks and has fallen on his 'chest' a couple of times when he tried to hurry away from another duck that was picking on him. I have him confined in a pen, but was told he could...

    New Muscovy Duck Mom

    Hello everyone, I found BackYard Chickens when I was searching for information on how to raise newly hatched Muscovy ducklings. I live in a residential neighborhood, on a very small lake, in Plantation, FL. I've never owned chickens or ducks but suddenly found myself with a nest full of...
