muscovey

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...

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...

I have three 14 week old muscovy drakes in need of a new home. Ducks were hatched on 7/4/23 They are very friendly Located in north western VA Would love to swap for females of same or different variety. I would also be happy to have them sent to a good home with nothing in return.

Hey y’all, I’m brand new to owning Muscovies and this site! I brought home five, two week old Muscovies, they seemed to have been raised by the momma and not hand raised. They’re very skittish and run all over the place like they’re scared to death when I do anything in their set up (clean...

All the rest of my ducks and chickens completely molted this past fall, except my one duck Spinach. He molted all his feathers except his flight feathers, they’re just raggedy sticks now. Is this a health concern? He is a Muscovy/magpie duck mule, his sister was mentally and physically disabled...

My Pekins will be three weeks old this week and my husband and I are starting on their coop this weekend. Once they’re old enough, they’ll be sleeping in the coop at night and free ranging during the day. We have a small lake in our backyard and after hurricane Ian, we had muscovies migrate to...

So my father owns a flock of ducks. Suddenly a couple of days ago he noticed that a few of his Muscovey’s weren’t coming up to feed. There is two adult muscovey’s and two Muscovy ducklings that seems to be affected. He has them isolated now. One of the adult Muscoveys won’t eat, stand or walk...

Hi there, I don’t have chickens but I do have ducks. It happened by accident really. I had a mama duck nest in a planter box I had. End of June checked on them. Only one baby hatched and couldn’t get out on its own. So I helped them out and off they went with their mama. That was that. She...

So I have a constant Muskovy duck laying eggs in my yard… They always all hatch and unfortunately due to where I live they always end up getting eaten by predators. My girlfriend has a single Muskovy duck that laid eggs back in April however none of them hatched and she keeps laying on the nest...

Hi I’m a city dweller with a farmer’s heart. I have chickens and ducks. However I have never had Muscovey ducks before. They are beautiful! Anyone can tell me if they are drakes or hens? They are about 3 months old. They all look the same and are the same size.

So one of my Muscovy ducks I noticed has dry dirty feathers especially compared to my other Muscovy otherwise she seems fine although she’s been half broody for a few weeks is this something I should be worried about I’m new to ducks so I could just be worried about nothing Also I noticed this...

So this morning I came out side to take care of birds and heard one of my Muscovys making a weird squeaking noise the same noise I also noticed on Sunday and Monday otherwise she seams fine still eating and drinking and everyone else seems fine I’m a new duck mom so am I just worried about...

Please help! I adopted two Muscovys over a month ago. They both did great and were quarantined for two weeks. Seemed to be the picture of health, were laying eggs. I do not know their age, but they appear to be young. The smaller of the two and younger, from what I can tell, is now seriously...

i believe these eggs to be 17 days old, no signs of life anymore during candling.. does the float test show signs of life or no?

Hey, I noticed scab on my Muscovy’s caruncle 2-3 weeks ago. I took her to the vet and they said that 1) They might be something scratch her face - (it’s is possible cause she sometimes scratches her face with the cage when she wants to come out. But, it’s weird that I’ve never seen it’s...

Hello! I’m looking for a loving home for several Muscovy chicks. About 8 weeks old. I’m in Gettysburg, Pa

I wanna get some ducks and I want to get a quiet breed. I want to get some Muscovey's since they're quiet breeds but apparently, they're also good flyers, if I get one will it fly away? Has anyone else had issues with their Muscovey's and flying?

I'm looking for a lavender muscovy breeder. (That can ship)

Muscovy hen. Photo attached. Age is unknown, seems in good health aside from the protrusion. I’ve read the other threads, but hers looks different than any photos I’m finding. I noticed one of the duck eggs had a little blood on it a few days ago but didn’t think much of it, since the...

Hey y’all, some of you know that I lost my first Muscovy that was given to me at our fair because he was not wanted any more. Anyway his name is Mr. Buttons and I have kept on hoping he would come back soon. Well, I was on my way home from helping out my sister, and in one of our neighbors ponds...
