    Muscovy nesting question

    Hi all, I am new to muscovy’s and obtained 3 adult hens and an adult drake earlier this year. Two of the hens came with hatchlings; one had 13 and the other had four.

    Missing 8week old Muscovy

    I hatched 20 Muscovy ducklings after their mom was killed by a raccoon. Found homes for all and kept 3. They are now 8 weeks old and outside with a pen that’s open during the day. This afternoon I went to check on them and one is missing. I tried calling for him with treats and nothing. They...

    Help Me Determine the Sex of my Muscovy Ducks

    Hey! I need help determining the sex of my new Muscovy ducks. I got the three older ones (the two black ones and the all white one) on May 19th of this year and they already had most of their feathers grown in.

    Muscovy Drake X Cayuga Hen MULES, will females lay eggs?

    There is some conflicting information out there about Female Mules laying eggs? Most seem to say no, but some resources say they do. All seem to agree that Hinnies (Male Mallard derived X Female Muscovy) will lay infertile eggs. I have a hatch of 7 Mules out of my Cayuga Hen covered by a Muscovy...

    Solitary Muscovy at new house

    Hello everyone, My husband and I just moved to a 10 acre property with a 1.5 acre pond. Our first week at the house a lone duck showed up. I did some research and seems he is a Muscovy drake. He lets us get within a few inches of him but won't allow us to pet him. He gets close to the fence...

    Minor wet feather - should I be concerned?

    All of my Muscovies have some degree of wet feather. They bathe and preen multiple times a day, but it hasn't resolved. It started this spring; they had no issues in the winter. I've read it's not uncommon in Muscovies, but should I be concerned and is there anything I should do to help them?

    Muscovy not repelling water

    I just got my second Muscovy duck and she isn’t repelling water at all. I don’t see mites, I’m unsure if her oil gland looks okay? And a picture of my other one next to her. My other one just swam and is nearly dry but this new one is soaking wet.

    Is there any way to "tame" a duck?

    I just had this random question, because most of our ducks are scared of us. Is there any way to really get close to them?
