Hello all,
New here, just taking tha suggestion to introduce myself and our family zoo. I live with my boyfriend, 2 dogs, 2 ferrets, a hermit crab, a snake, 3 Muscovey Ducks (Charlier, Blue & Rooster) & 16 muscovey ducklings (not named yet, handraised & for sale, contact me!). Our zoo is...
I'm in search of some muscovy eggs that can be shipped to me. Im looking for a variety of colors of ducks that could hatch out. Please message me if you sell muscovy eggs and are willing to ship!
My name is Ashley and i live in Virginia. As for my yard birds, i have one Muscovy male, a female Ancona mix, and 5 female Anconas. Also have 2 more Muscovy ducklings i got yesterday as well as a duckling that was found about 5 days ago and brought to me. Not sure what it is yet but im hoping...
I’ve hatched chickens and quail for 10 years with success rate in the 90s. But this will be my first time hatching Muscovy. Make sure I have it right. 99.5, 35 days. Now as far as humidity I run my chicken eggs at 25% and really just go by air cells to make sure it’s goid then at lock down I go...
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...
Can anyone tell me if minted peas are okay for ducks, chickens and turkeys?
I know normal peas are just not sure about minted. I hate minted peas so thought I'd give my babies a treat rather than toss them out.
Can anyone also what treats are suitable for them as well especially for turkey...
Ok so this summer I plan to start showing muscovy and khaki campbells. So when do they have all there feathers coming in nicely? I know that khaki's are looking there best at around 4 months I just I'm not sure about the scovies. So I need to know when to start a batch of eggs incubating so that...
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)
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...
my ducks got fed french fries despite the fact that i have repeatedly asked for my pets not to be fed anything that i didn't ok first and im honestly really upset over it
will they be okay? is it fine just this once? should i make them throw it up or something????
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...
