Need help finding my ducks gender
We received two Muscovy ducks around 2-3 months ago. At first, we suspected that the black one was a hen and the white a drake. The white duck is considerably larger and has more of a caruncle but not as much as some drakes you see. It is also timid and gets bitten by the black one a lot. I also...- Anph4m

Muscovy duck flew off. Will she come back?
So I pulled a stupid and when I clipped my girls' wings after molting I only clipped a few feathers. I thought I would clip more if I thought they might get out of our yard. Every morning they fly 100 feet or so to where the food is and the rest of the time they are just content to waddle... -
