    Female Muscovy with injured leg

    We have a Muscovy at our pond that has a nest and an injured leg. Is it best to just let her be? She hops around, swims, eats etc. She just kind of drags the bad foot.

    Extremely creative and sneaky nest makers

    Does anybody else have a Muscovy hen that will absolutely NOT let anyone know where she is nesting? Her name is Lillie, and she is like Houdini. We have tried following her without being seen, but I swear she is psychic and will stop and go somewhere else and hide, making us believe we have...

    Worried about Muscovy duck

    For context…my husband witnessed some tiny ducklings run over by a dump truck on his way home from work in late May. He stopped to check on them and found one duckling was alive and wasn’t hit. Mom was nowhere to be found. He brought it home, and my 15-year-old daughter took it in to raise as...

    Mallards messier than Muscovy?

    Are muscovy easier to keep with chickens than mallard breeds? My friend suggested muscovy, saying they don't need water as much as mallard breeds, so their runs are easier to keep clean. How true is this? What is everyone's experience on keeping Muscovy ducks with chickens vs keeping mallard...

    Hi everyone! My pet duck who is a year and a half old, suddenly stopped eating. She’ll pick up the food, shake her head and then spit it out. She’s drinking plenty of water and she’s acting exactly the same. She’s just as chatty and she’s still foraging during the day. The only other...

    I have two muscovy ducks. The female laid her first egg last Friday. She chose one of the holes she made on the ground as her nest. Last morning and earlier this morning, however, she laid another 2 eggs in the duck house, which means she has two different nests in two different locations. I'm...
