Can Muscovy hens raise other birds?
Hello! I am thinking about adding another bird or two to my flock, but I am curious of a couple things. Currently I have 3 Muscovy hens that should start laying soon. I was thinking about either getting 1 more Muscovy, or maybe 2 of a different type of duck that isn't too loud(I have neighbors)... -
Totally un-important question about duck coloring/heritage
Not important question - curiosity is the motivator here: my Swedish Blue ducks have some green that comes out in sunlight in the feathers on their head. Does this imply some Cayuga in their family history..? Or do all ducks with dark feathers have this very beautiful coloration?- Maddog_photog

Cayuga ready to lay eggs?
3 of my 4 females (2 runners and 1 khaki) are laying, and have been since the beginning of October. They are now a little over 6 months. My Cayuga isn’t laying yet, but she has an awkward little “pouch” that almost drags the ground sometimes. I heard that means they are getting close to laying... -
Do Drakes Mellow Out Duck Hens?
Hello!! My Cayuga Hens are so attached to me. It’s cute, but also enough to drive us all insane. They get so loud any time I leave them, and now they are flattening themselves for breeding 🤦🏻♀️. I’ve heard if I get a drake for them, he will mellow them out and "keep them in line". For my fellow...- CayugaMama

Need to rehome 2 ducks in Raleigh, NC!
Hi! My husband and I love animals and it saddens me to even have to do this, but we are looking into the possibility of re-homing our two ducks.

Cayuga Calls
We have two 3-month-old cayuga (presumed) females. They are so fun and beautiful. We love them. However, one of them is particularly noisy. I expect the noise with ducks of course. She is only noisy when I walk away, or when I am behind a bush or something. Once she loses sight of me, she quacks...- CayugaMama

Cayuga duck biting own foot/Tiny Hole
My 3 month old Cayuga female is biting at her own foot when in her pool. I picked her up today (no small feat) and saw that she has one TINY pin hole in her webbing. After reading some posts here, it's possible that it could be an ant bite or maybe she just stepped on something. I'm not as...- Khalgeesi Mother of Ducks

Q
Muscovy breeding
Couple questions because my internet search is leaving me confused. 1. I think my Cayuga hen mated with my Muscovy by the looks of the foliage. I thought she had mated with the mallard. Will these babies be mules if the Muscovy is the dad? 2. Can Muscovy ducks or any domestic ducks do second...- Quackwacker

Q
What do you think?
So my Muscovy went broody on a clutch. I had some fertile eggs from my Cayuga hen who is mated with my mallard drake. My Cayuga just won’t go broody but I wanted some of her babies. So I timed it right and slipped two of her eggs under the broody Muscovy when she 28 days left to sit. On hatch...- Quackwacker

Raising Ducks and Chickens

Sexing My Ducklings?
One of my Cayuga ducklings is jet black and much skinner than the other (April), while the other (Andy) has some white/light tan around his chest and beak and is a bit bulkier with thicker legs, which makes me think they are two different sexes. I read somewhere a long time ago that the lighter...- April and Andy
