    Muscovy pouncing? Body slamming? other Muscovys and me

    I have young muscovys who when they get pet by me or its like a high energy moment, they start like 'vibrating' or 'shaking' their head before like pouncing at me or or other ducks.

    why hasn't my one year old duck layed an egg?

    hello guys, I'm quite new to here, but I've used to come here for various reasons quite a few times, but I have never found anyone talking about any type of duck not laying. Most of the time, the topics that cover this seem to be about ducks that are still too young to lay but never about a...

    Why do my Muscovy's feathers look so bad?

    My female muscovy ducks feathers look pretty bad and I don’t know what’s up with it. My other Muscovy hens feathers don’t look like this. There is two drakes I have but they don’t really mate with my Muscovy hens they prefer the mallard hens. I’ve looked for mites but can’t find any. l

    Ducks & Mycoplasma

    I've come to the sad realization that the chickens in my flock have Mycoplasma aka chronic upper respiratory illness. I have Khaki Campbells, Muscovy, and Pomeranian Saddleback Geese as well that have all, at some point, been exposed to this nasty nastiness. What's the prognosis for them? Is it...

    Giant Muscovy Duck Hen

    Hi, 1st ever post ^_^ does anyone have any abnormally large duck hens? I'll have to get some pics for you guys, but I have a muscovy duck that's the same size as my drake - for a while she's was larger than him! I was wondering how common this is? Or is it possible she's intersexed? She and her...

    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...

    I have a male Muscovey duck and for the past week he bends his head down and starts trying to nip at something on his stomach. It seems like he can't get whatever it is that hes reaching for and I can't figure out how to help him out. I flipped him over and felt his stomach to see if there was a...

    Eggs became liquid. Why?

    my Muscovy had a clutch of... 19ish eggs. I candled them every two weeks removing duds and such. However every so often there would be one that became liquid. Eventually all of them had to be removed for this reason. Is this just a thing that sometimes happened during the summer? I live in the...

The interwebs has not been helpful, so here I am :-) Will the meat from a year old drake be too gamey if we butcher him now? We have only butchered once before, a year old female that we rescued from a badger a little...
