muscovies

if I let the Muscovy Ducks overnight in my chicken coop, would they eat the cockroaches? Or is there another way to get rid of those nasty bugs?

I have this year's hatchlings for sale, from a day old to two months old. Please message me if interested, located in Tucson, AZ.

I can hear my Muscovy duckling chirping and tapping on the egg... it’s been 40 hours and there is still no crack.. should I be worried? What should I do?? (Incubator process)

I have a roost about 3 feet off the ground but my Muscovies won’t use it. They were roosting at previous home with previous owner on even higher roosts (6+ feet) but I’ve had to clip a wing on each of them to keep them home. I don’t think they can get enough lift (especially my Drake) to get up...

At the risk of offending Muscovy Ducks everywhere, I'm hoping for some insight. We just got 4 ducks a week ago, a drake a couple days later, and I've never seen such lazy behavior from any bird... LOL! We had a new cattle panel hoop coop ready for them, kept them penned in it to bond them to...

I am ready to place an order for ducklings, first time owner. I’m having a tough time with a few decisions; ANY AND ALL ADVICE is welcome!!! I want layers and meat. I am interested in having a large flock eventually. I have narrowed it down to: RUNNERS, for eggs and garden duty. I am...

I bought 9 ducklings yesterday that are supposed to be about 10 days old, per the CL ad. Some of them look like they could be muscovies, but two of them are all black. I have seen muscovies be mostly black as adults, but not likes these. At what age should I be able to tell if they are truly...

Hello! I am planning to get two muscovy ducks to see if I should get more. But I was wondering if ducks need anything special. I know that they need a pool to swim in but is there anything else that they would Need? (other than food)

Does anyone know where i can find Muscovy Ducklings shipped to or anywhere in Michigan?

Help me out with the plural form of the word Muscovy. Thanks! :pop

i think one of my ducks has gotten frostbite on the knob of caruncle that sits above his bill. it hasnt gotten above 20 degrees here in probably the last week, and these two refuse to stay in their house and instead sit on the back porch all day until i bring them inside or until it's bedtime...

Hi all, To give a long story short. I bought ducks from the store, they assured me they were muscovies, not hybrid, because I wanted to breed them. However, now that they are older, I know for sure they are not muscovies. When contacting them they assured me once again that their provider sold...

Howdy folks, It seems like ages since I've joined a new Internet forum! I was looking at Backyard chickens as a resource we could recommend for people who are new to chickens, and decided it looked interesting enough to join. My wife and I have been keeping poultry most of our lives. For...

Hello all! Would anyone be interested in doing an egg swap? I have Muscovy ducks. The father is black pied. The mothers are blue pied and chocolate pied. I want some new genetics and new colors to add to my little flock. I really want all black/wild type, self blue (or any self color)... But...
