Any differences in caring for a Muscovy versus a regular (Mallard descendant) duck?
lol Animals can be so funny when it comes to food. I tried giving some of my birds pumpkin seeds after we baked a pumpkin. Only one bird (my gander) would even touch them. Everyone else acted like they were poison. Same goes for most of the healthy treats I bring them. Just about the only treats... -

I really am liking the name Penny for her. It really suits her. Today she is out and slowly exploring a little bit of the garden. She goes a little ways then back near the pen I have her in. The geese and the rest of the ducks like to watch her but don't seem to be interested in trying to pick... -

All my birds get to free range in my fenced in garden and yard during the day so I am sure she will love that. Thanks for the tip on the seed heads. My other ducks don't seem to care for them so if she likes them that would be great. -

I only have one Buff. She was given to me last year at the same time as a Black Swedish. I named them Daffy (changed to Daffina after it turned out he was a she) and Daisy for the Buff. Daisy is the one that sat on some eggs (not hers) and hatched my last babies. As a first time mom she did... -

Not the best pictures, but what I could get with where she wanted to stand. She looks to be young from her size. She seems to me that she needs to fill out more, just judging by my other ducks. Are Muscovy ducks smaller then say a Buff duck? The wing facing the camera has had the feathers... -

I love the happy ending here too. I am just glad my friend thought to bring her to me. I will try posting a picture of her today. -

I have no idea on why they wanted to have her put down. She is so sweet and she looks to be in very good health with bright eyes and shiny feathers. Obviously she was cared for but I guess they thought it would be too cruel to have just one duck and didn't want to get another. Just guessing from... -

lol. Thanks. I don't need mealworms with this girl. She is so sweet and calm that she lets me pet her if I approach slowly and talk sweet to her for a few minutes before I reach my hand out. Sort of makes the whole thing about them wanting to put her down all the more crazy. -

She is pretty well covered then here at my place. She will also have a bunch of new friends with my ducks. I have no idea when she lost her drake, only that she was alone for a little bit before they were going to put her down. She looked a bit sad when she arrived. Can't explain how she looks... -

Just got given a Muscovy girl. Very pretty and sweet. She looks to be in good health but has only eaten bread and cheese puffs for the last 24 to 48 hours. Apparently her mate died via a dog attack and the owner was going to put her down. A friend of a friend took her and then decided not to...
