    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...

    FOUND 8 Muscovy duck eggs! 2 are turning dark need advice please.

    My favorite muscovy duck was killed by a raccoon close to my front yard. I was thinking about it, wondering why she was always hanging out by the front of my house and not by the water. I thought maybe she had a nest. Sure enough, I took a look around and found her nest. I recovered 8 eggs in...

    Vinegar water in the incubator: update post

    So I did it! I took my cousin's advice and used a cap full of white vinegar in my incubator. I put 7 eggs in for a test run and I'm happy to say I've had better hatching results then with purified water. 5 out of my 7 hatched! 3 of those chicks were from my 4 year old golden comet that hasn't...

    When to remove the "bad eggs"

    I had previously posted that my 5 month old Buff Orpington went broody just a few weeks after she started laying. I ended up purchasing 3 fertile eggs because my boys aren't old enough to facilitate such things just yet and received four eggs. I was pretty sure two were not viable but don't have...

    Is it alright to hold new babies, with a protective mother?

    My female duck just recently hatched some ducklings. She has been extremely broody during the whole process, and isn’t that fond of interaction with people as it is. I would like to hold the ducklings and get them used to being around people, so that they are a bit friendlier than she is once...

About a month ago, 4 of the five Rouens and our female goose went broody and they've been sitting consistently on their eggs since. I...

    Anyone in Arizona with young ducklings, maybe even chicks?

    I had a very difficult hatch, with only one surviving duckling. She is a day old. Anyone near Prescott, have young ducklings or chicks and are willing to part with one or two? She is very lonely, and it feels so cruel having her alone!:hit

    (Somewhat) unexpected hatchlings

    Our broody hen has some hatchlings! They're a cross from a Rhode Island Red rooster and Golden Comet hens. We're not sure what to do; they're in a nesting box 4 feet off the ground, and there are several more eggs to hatch yet. Should we try to move mom, eggs and chicks to an empty coop, or to...
