    Chick picking at other chick

    Yes they are fully feathered. I was thinking of turning off the lamps during the day. The water is not heated but I often refill with room temp water. I am still keeping them separated from the others because the drake is not a fan so I give them their own water and food often. Thanks for...

    Chick picking at other chick

    We’re going to the feed store tomorrow to inquire about their food. The problem I’m having is the other adult female and drake are not taking a liking to the babies so we keep them in an enclosed area but during the day We keep the adults out of the coop to let the little ones with mom roam...

    So I only separated the one chick last evening because the other chick was picking at him and he was bleeding and I don’t understand why that is happening. The mom and chicks are separated normally together from the drake and other female. The chicks are about 8 weeks old. Our coop is about...

    Muskovy baby injury

    Muskovy babies

    today I lifted the chicken wire so the female could get closer to the babies and she right away went to attack the baby. The mom and I intervened and I got the female away. It’s so disappointing because I don’t know what to do now…..

    Muskovy babies

    Yes I just worry how the one female was poking her beak through the chicken wire when the baby got close enough and in an aggressive way. I wonder if she jealous or something?

    Muskovy babies

    It’s our first babies and the female mom doesn’t have the best relationship with the other female and drake as they are a bonded pair so I wanted to give her a good chance to care for her babies.

    They have not been introduced without the chicken wire. I think at day one or two we put the chicken wire up.

    Muskovy babies

    Hi there. We have two females and a drake. One female had two babies 10 days ago. We separated the mom and babies in the same coop with chicken wire from the other female and drake. The other female seems overly interested in the babies. She follows them, tries to poke her beak through the...

    Found dead baby muskovy

    My husbands made it his mission to trap the rats. So can I put her somewhere by herself, I’m a different coop that’s more secure while she is laying eggs?

    Well she has one left. She had more but one by one they were disappearing. We suspected maybe something was getting in maybe a rat so we close the hatch at night. The one she has left looks like it will not hatch. It is very small egg and it looks clear inside. It’s very disappointing...

    Muskovy duck laying eggs up high

    Thank you for the info, we have one other female and a drake, these two are a bonded pair. The mother laying on the egg as not left the nest for more than a minute so I assume that if I move the nest down she will protect the duckling from the drake. It’s our first almost successful duckling...
