Dirty White Muscovy Duck
I saved a white Muscovy duck from a farmer who couldn’t take care of her. She’s now bug free and laying and seems super happy and healthy...Except, she’s not white. She looks dirty and her feathers are crusty feeling. Her oil gland looks great and I see her preening so I’m not sure what the... -
What age is good enough to rehome!
I have a amazing black drake muscovy who is 9-10 weeks old. He is fairly independent and very spunky, he allows me and some other people in my family to pet him on the back. But I have 2 drakes out the 3 ducklings I originally got. And we are keeping the other because he is even friendlier... -
Muscovy ducks
So I have a question, my male Muscovy duck, the black one, sits on the eggs. He’s the only one. He would get off sometime to come eat and he sees the girl one, he’ll chase he and try to get on top of her. My husband took the eggs yesterday because he’s been on them for like almost a month. And...- motherturkey

Collecting down after butchering.
I am interested in getting into Muscovy ducks for meat and eggs and was wondering what the best method to collect down from ducks are after butchering them. I don’t plan to pluck them when they are live at all whether molting or not. Does anyone else do this? Is there a different breed of duck...- Terms30884

Why won't my Muscovy ducks roost
I just recently bought some Muscovy Ducks. I heard that Muscovy Ducks like to roost so I built them a place to roost but none of them have touched it. They even have a place to roost in their coop but they sleep on the ground. Is this normal? Do some ducks prefer not to roost or are they just...- FathertoFeathers

Will my Muscovy Ducks fly away?
I just got some Muscovy Ducks. I know that they're able to fly but I don't know how well they're able to. Can they fly long distances like wild ducks do or do they fly few inches or feet off the ground. I ask because I don't want them to fly away and there is a small pond in the woods behind my...- FathertoFeathers

What predator killed my Muscovy ducks? (Graphic images)
I had three Muscovy ducks set up on my pond. I didn’t feel the need to keep them locked up at night, so I let them roam free. But they stayed in the area. About a few weeks into this, which was a couple nights ago, one of my ducks shows up dead. With just a head, and two wings. I thought it was...- austin22chat

Sexing moscovy ducks
Hi! I got two muscovy ducklings in May, they just turned 3 months old now. I've never had muscovy ducks before and I'm having trouble figuring out their sex. At first I thought they were male and female because one was much bigger than the other, but now they're the same size. I think they might...- Virginia_____

Protecting My Muscovies from the otter
hello, I’ve just recently got 6 muscovies. They’re now about 9 weeks old and very big. Very sadly 2 have been eaten by a local otter. We live by a river which they love but I worry we let them roam free too early before they could fly. How can we train them to get into their pen at night? They...- Muscovybea

Muscovy? Male and Female?
We were told this was a male and female muscovy pair. To be honest, the bunnies we got from the same person, (at the same time) we later found to be sexed inaccurately). Are they even muscovies? Any idea on the sex or how we can?- FlomatonsFlocks

Is my Muscovy a male or female?
Hi lovely people! My Muscovy duck is about to turn 7 weeks and while I’m 90% sure she’s a girl I figured I’d ask the experts just to be sure before I start training her to come when her name is called haha.
