    Muscovy or magpie?

    This is Lunky, my 3-day-old baby. I got him with a pair of (maybe) rouens and a fawn&white runner. Is it possible to tell the difference already?

    Magpie Duck Hatching Egg Lead?

    My family would love to hatch some Magpie Ducklings. We only found two hatchries that sell them, one has bad reviews and the other was $15 per egg plus shipping (out of our budget for 20ish eggs). I'd be happy to buy from individuals as well, we've browsed Facebook Marketplace, Craigstlist and...

    Letting Mamas Raise Ducklings

    I’ve got 3 Magpie Duck hens and 1 drake. 2 of the hens went broody right before I left on vacation. They’ve been sitting on eggs for around 18 days now. I’ve raised ducks in a brooder but never let a mama raise them. Lots of questions! 1. Should I take their pool away and just give water deep...

    How long do magpie duck eggs take to hatch?

    Hey everyone. I am wondering how long do magpie duck eggs take to hatch. From what I see on different websites they aren’t really adding up. Some say just 20 days, and others are saying about the same as other ducks. And help would be appreciated!

    Help, 2 Week Old Magpie Duckling is Sick

    Hi guys! We are first timers with baby ducklings. We have a two week old magpie duck that was more lethargic than the rest of the flock. We have separated her and she is in a warm, dry place with food and water (ACV and extra b vitamins added in). Her eyes and bill are clear, her vent is clear...

    Magpies

    We have 1 magpie duck that is about 6 months old. The duck is lonely and needs a friend, yet everywhere I've looked is sold out of magpie's. Does anyone know of any for sale or have any to sell? I'm in Indiana and depending on location I'd even be willing to come pick up.

    Duck Has Poor Grooming Habits

    Hi everybody! This year I started a small flock of ducks. I have a magpie duck and she is just the sweetest girl. Definitely my nicest and most well behaved bird, she's also my best layer. Her only issue is that her grooming habits are AWFUL. Her face is always so dirty and caked with dirt. As...

    Who laid this morning?

    So I know it was one of my 4 ducks! It was a small white duck egg. My silver appleyard has been laying her big eggs and my runner just started up her greenish eggs. My last two are muscovy and magpie. I'm thinking it was my magpie since she's 7-8 months old and my muscovy is 5-6 months old and...

    How to determine who is laying?

    Hello again I'm back at it with my wacky questions! So I have 4 ducks, a runner, silver appleyard, muscovy, and magpie/pekin (we think?), how can I tell who is laying based on behavior or looks rather than picking them up and feeling pelvic bones? I don't like to have to chase after them and...
