This is our duck yard which now is home to 2 muscovy juvie hens, a blue swede drake and a KC drake....we've since re-homed the gander (he was a bit of a ***hole LOL) It's approx. 24+ ft by 30+ ft. We just got some old fencing from a neighbor and used some logs from a tree another neighbor cut...

I have recently come across someone who's looking to re-home two hens...a gadwall/mallard mix. ?? I have little experience with flying ducks ( our muscovy babies still have a little while) and have to admit I"m a bit intimidated. Their current owner says they're super sweet and about 4 months...

YES! LOL...that's exactly what I'm talking about. Our gray/white one doesn't ever do it, but our black (I call her "Beetle" because of the awesome colors) one has a little mohawk that she'll break out now and then...especially when we walk into their yard. It's actually quite cute...little...

Ok...I may have a somewhat stupid question...hehe We have two musocvy babies (I have posted in the thread before). They were hatched around the end of May.... They're both approx the same size in body and leg thickness. They both make that adorable "trill" kinda sound, BUT...and this is the BIG...

Our Rouen, Pickles (RIP), was just like that. Very *not* a cuddle ducky. It took a year for our Cayuga to get tame to the point where she'd wait for me by the gate at breakfast and bedtime and wait for a little snuggle. Cayugas aren't the most calm ducks and Rouens generally aren't either. I...

to *somewhat* answer your post's title question....We recently acquired two scovy ducklings and they've been quite a different duck already at only 1 and a half months old! Already tamer than any of our others at their age (I've actually taught them to hop in my hand). They also seem to be...

We now have 5........ Olive - Cayuga hen Brewster - KC drake Beans - crested Blue Swede Bonsai - Muscovy hen duckling our other scovy duckling (hen) has yet to be named, but we're playing around with.... Cricket, Penelope P. Puddlesworth (Puddles), Mustard, Friday, or Smudge......we keep...

Very informative! Thanks! :) The lady I got my scovies from had some beautiful parents and BOY could the drake fly! I'd go over there and within seconds he'd come flying down from their deck....a good 10 ft high and land about 30 ft away from it! LOL I will admit that it scared the bejeebus...

We just got two Muscovy hens and plan on clipping their wing. I've heard debates on whether to clip one wing or two. I'm leaning towards clipping both so there's no imbalance in their down "flight" if they are perching, but I've heard that it really doesn't matter. ???? I'm new to Muscovies...

We have 5 ducks now. Our 1 y/o + Cayuga has just, this summer, become calm enough to greet me in the morning when it's breakfast time. She's to the point that she'll wait by the fence until she sees me and then she just plops down and waits for her "loves". I can now rub under her wings, pick...

Duck eggs are much richer and creamier (for lack of a better word) than store bought eggs. To get used to them we just scrambled them and used them for baking. Now we love them and eat them fried, in omelets, when we make asian food.....just for everything! We always give some to our...

Our scovie babies will be going on 4 weeks old soon...next week actually. Their little tub is about 6 inches high and they can touch the bottom no prob and hop out with so much as a slip. In fact, I think they're better at it than our big ducks! LOL I see a little pool in the VERY near...

Awww...seeing all these pictures...I can't wait until my little ones grow up to be the beautiful (yes...I think they're gorgeous!!) scovies that they are destined to be! ;) Here's a couple of mine I took the other day...

Awww!! Love love love Rouens! I miss our Rouen, Pickles. So adorable!

They are by far a breed apart from our grown ducks! LOL When our other 3 were ducklings they were just so skittish and shy. These scovies are quite the opposite! They are fine with being cuddled or just sitting in our laps. When we put them out in their "baby pen" they are SO interested in...

Just built their outdoor pen in our duck yard yesterday. Decided to take some pics and share! :) It's going to be almost 100 degrees here today and haven't put in any sort of shade/cool area for them so they're stuck inside the air conditioned house today. :( ...and one of our...
