    Muscovy Ducks

    I had a Muscovy duckling in the house from hatch, not my choice but mama didn't want him. He honestly thought he was one of the dogs, slept in a dog bed and ate and slept in the house till close to 3 months old. We went and got him 3 girls to grow up with since my other 2 drakes had claimed all...

    brewers yeast has niacin in it this is what I use. Just sprinkle it on top of feed. I make fermented feed for my flock so the BY just gets mixed into the dry before I pour the water/ACV over to mix. When the ducks brood for a long time and Scovys sit for so long it dos take a lot out of them...

    The way to tell is by the bean tip, look at your drakes tip of bill even Muscovy ducklings have it and I can see it on a few of your ducklings that have closer pic of their faces. Beautiful babies and most likely the blk with spots will look like your drake, those that have hatched here and...

    I think Muscovy's are very gentle ducks, and you are seeing this played out, loving care brings them around fast. I hope you get some precious ducklings out of this pair and you enjoy them for a long time to come.

    Sounds like they are settling in just fine, keep updating progress. I think if theres a way to get rid of the mold I would try, mold is not healthy for them or us for that matter.

    If you can get duck/waterfowl that would be the way to go, but if there is bugs/worms etc they will dif go for them first. Maybe look at their enclosure closely you might want to change some things take out some. Mine love to stand on old tree stumps when preening but are mostly on the ground...

    Sounds like a really good blend hopefully they will begin to eat and you'll see a big change in their looks and over all health. Let me know what you find out about the drakes leg.

    What are you feeding them? my Scovy's and chickens and geese eat Purina Flock raiser mixed with whole oats and Homestead 7 way scratch. mostly FR though. I have been feeding fermented feed since last Oct. They all like it plus they get to forage during daylight hours. If you just got these ducks...

    Muscovy Ducks

    I am a little confused[which is pretty normal] but are you say these were feral Muscovy's that you have rescued? if so they may not be use to "feed" and it may take them sometime to understand what it is "food" You might try moistening the food some but don't put out much because it tends to...

    Quote: Kuntry, love those pics, too bad they have to grow up.. how'd it go this past weekend with the skinning? You are right. Too bad that they have to grow up. This weekend was sad, of course. I really didn't want to process them but I knew that I had to. It was just too many drakes. I...
