muscovies

I have a pen with three Muscovies, one drake and two ducks. I have a duck in the pen next to them with my three chickens and rooster. The duck seems to get along with them. I was considering putting the solo duck in with the three in the neighbor pen but want to make sure I do it right. They’ve...

I now have nine Muscovies in my freezer. Anyone have any good recipes for Muscovy meat specifically that doesn’t cost a lot?

I just processed about nine of my Muscovies and let me tell you, those feathers were a pain in the butt. We did three different methods. They were dunked in boiling water before being plucked. We used latex gloves, garden gloves that were textured and paraffin wax. After all that there were...

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...

my two female Muscovies nested together and are now taking care of a clutch of eggs together. They had two nests next to each other (even though other boxes were available) and would switch eggs. When I would check the eggs I noticed it wasn’t the same number, they would swap nesting spots and...

A question I never thought I’d be asking and yet ... Our young female Muscovy who is quite used to wearing a ‘diapie’ when in the house is laying her second batch of eggs. My question is this; after she’s laid her daily egg is it safe to her to put her diaper on her? I just wonder as she’s...

I have my Muscovy females incubating their eggs. I had one go missing (Most likely an owl, hoping she just flew off. She got bullied the most) and gave her eggs to another brooding female. It’s been a week so I candled the eggs to check the progress and something seems amiss. Sorry I don’t have...

I got my baby muscovies about a month and a half ago and they’ve gotten so big and beautiful but for so long I could not figure out if they were male or female. Everything said I should be able to tell by size and voice but they looked similarly sized and they don’t really talk a lot so I just...

So far i have had two ducks taken by a fox in my neighborhood. The first was one of my two young muscovies back in November or December, and just yesterday one of my welshies (one of the 2 first ducks i ever got) was taken and she would have been 2 years old on September 5th. I think of my ducks...

My two female muscovies have just started laying eggs! I was excited to have some fir baking that were non fertile. I have a larger flock of khakis and pekins hens and only one khaki Drake. I was fairly certain that he could not mate with my muscovies because I have yet to witness it. However...
