That's awesome it's nice to have the room for them all too. They really are a beautiful duck breed.

21 ducklings I forgot about that wow. Got your hands full and 2 small kiddos too right. Boy. That sounds like my Opie he always wanted to be on me. Maybe you should consider making one of those thing you put around your neck that has the pocket to hold a baby but you'll be carrying a duckling. :D

Sounds like a typical duckling, glad to hear it's doing so good. It's feet turn in? Are you supplementing with any kind of niacin? are you feeding duck or chick starter. Leg problems like lameness or bowed legs feet turning in can be from a niacin deficiency so if they are on chick crum then I'd...

We have 10.5 acres my dh calls billy goat land. :rolleyes: 65 acres wow that is awesome plenty of room for lots of animals. lol I am very attached to all my critters. I have only had to help one duckling hatch and then save my drake from sure death from his crazed mama. I don't think I could...

My Muscovy's and Runners and Buffs [Runners and Buffs hatched together so they are one flock], Muscovy's another flock they forage daily on half acre wish it was more but we live on the side of a mountain and way to expensive to do fencing here. But anyway they have houses and one is for the...

Yep I think it's making sure there aren't so many drakes that there aren't enough female ducks to accommodate them. And then again you just have to see how it goes in your flock believe me it can all be totally different than what someone else has. Are you going to have breeding pens for your...

All drakes are so different. I have heard members say their drakes will try to mate anything I have never seen that here. My scovy drakes will not even mess with young ducklings they really are amazing. Muscovy's are slow to mature also they are around 8-9 months before they lay their first egg...

My Muscovies actually sleep in the same coop with my chickens even roost with them at times. My drake the sweet one I was just talking[ lol] about can get hateful and grab hold of a hen and pull some feathers out this is during breeding season and of course my broody female ducks can give...

Yes Muscovy drake. He is awesome, but we did have a rough go once he started into his hormone time around 4-5 months but I came on here and got help and we made it through.

Yes take it out with you. Is the belly all healed? just don't want it getting dirty if not. When I had my duckling [mama rejected it at hatch] He went every where with me just like I was his mama. When I sat down if he wasn't in my lap he had his head up into my jeans leg and when I would hold...

Might have to make some adjustments to the hobbles to keep the legs in proper alignment. So happy to hear how well the lil one is doing and all the attention it's getting boy that is going to be one spoiled ducklings. :love

Eating will probably come tomorrow. maybe tomorrow try some soupy feed first since he has been drinking. Use warm water.

No that starts around 6-8 weeks but just barely then, sometimes you can see the out line. once the little one is feeling good get a close up of the face.

That lil Scovy looks very much like my Full Muscovy looked at hatch so might be full Scovy

Poultry Nutri Drench sorry.

Could be spraddle leg do you know how to make a hobble? here is info https://sites.google.com/a/poultrypedia.com/poultrypedia/poultry-podiatry I wouldn't move it yet if the belly isn't completely dry. don't want to risk infection. It may not want to eat for a while if you can get the PND...
