muscovy

Hello friends, I need help with a diagnosis and treatment for an adult female Muscovy duck. She is a mom duck that has been coming to my house with her two babies the last couple months. However, three days ago I noticed her laying down in my front yard with her wings a little droopy, and when...

We have a Muscovy hen, Mo, and she ended up with only 2 eggs left due to a snake. One has hatched and the other has not. How long should we wait, before taking that egg away? The first one hatched about 2 days ago. All the Muscovies stayed in the run the last 2 nights, like family in the...

I just bought some muscovy ducks today and the seller didn’t tell me if he knew if they were male or female or their ages, so I tried looking it up and am getting some inconclusive results. can someone help me out? :( the first two pictures are separate ducks and the last one is them together

Long story short, I went to collect some Indian runner hatching eggs today to put under my broody muscovy hen. We were also given a peafowl egg for free (I said no but was outvoted 😂 ). The plan is to put them all in the nest at the same time but I'm not sure what the best thing to do is once...

Hello everyone, I’m in desperate need of finding my muscovy male a home. I live in Miami, Florida. I live in a small apartment and do not have the time to take care of my duck anymore. I would walk him outside everyday. But now I am going to college and my schedule is becoming packed. I love him...

Hello, so i got a female that recently hatched 5 ducklings. By now they are around almost 2 weeks old. Recently the weather where i live got rainy with some sunshine. Today in the morning (rainy day) i noticed one of the ducklings separated from the mom and group. It seems to be the runt since...

How common is it for Muscovies and Mallard-derived breeds to cross? Is it less likely to happen if there is a muscovy drake around? I did not separate my muscovy duck from the khaki Campbell drake, I don't think the drake would have bred her because for whatever reason the Muscovies sort of...

My eldest muscovy (15 weeks) has stopped eating his grower pellets but will eat everything else like worms, grass, fruit (gave as treats) but wont even touch his pellets anymore even though he use to eat the pallets fine. Unsure if he has become fussy and doesn't like his pellets anymore (fancy...

I was taking my duck out of the coop and i noticed that she has a big swollen red vent. It seems to hurt too since she does little screams, What can i do about this? How can i help her?

I finally separated my Muscovy pair from the khaki Campbells last week. I am up to 8 Muscovy eggs today. I know oftentimes they'll lay huge clutches of eggs and hatch them all out, but other times they'll stop laying at around 13 eggs. I would really like to hatch out more then that, so I can...

I recently brought home four Muscovy who are three weeks old. I was wondering what colors these babies could be? I know one is chocolate. I'm thinking the other three are barred with one of them being lavender and two of them being cream, but I'd like others opinions on this! I am asking about...

Yesterday I came home from a 4 day trip and found my Muscovy hen under the shed with a clutch of eggs. She was too far underneath the shed for me to get her so I let her be. This morning when I went to go feed the birds I noticed she was limping quite badly. So I picked her up and immediately...

Hello, A few days ago neighbors found an injured Muscovy duck and brought her to me because I have been raising ducks and chickens in my backyard. However, I have never had a bird with such a terrible injury; the duck seemed to have been bitten by something around her tail area, and the cuts...

This is first time breeding ducks we got two Muscovy ducks last year and they laid 12 eggs. Four were gotten by puppies before we got the fence fixed but today found one cracked all over and a small tear in the membrane. There is some blood I opened it a little thinking it was dead but it...

Lost one of my muscovy girls to what i think was a fox, leaving me with a hen and drake. She seems very upset and not her self as those two did everything together. Is it worth getting another female just for her and am i okay with just adding one or do i need to get two? I have sorted an...

Hello there! My Muscovy ducks are on day 32, and I have a few that have internally pipped. All of them are quite active and I hear chirping. One of my eggs looks like it is starting to slightly bruise right where the little guy has been pecking. Is that ok? This is my first time with duck eggs...

My Animal Science teacher is planning to hatch quail٫ ducks٫ Muscovy ducks٫ and chickens all in the same incubator. Will anything be able to hatch with all of the temperature٫ humidity٫ and incubation period differences? I told her I had fertile duck and bantam eggs٫ but would rather hatch them...

I've got 4 Muscovy eggs on day 29 in the incubator and I noticed two of them wiggling. I removed the automatic turner and checked back about a half hour later and one of the wigglers moved a couple of inches and had spun around 180 degrees to point in the opposite direction I left it in and I...

My 2 yr old muscovy mom, Luna, has always been very good at hatching out her clutch however we still have 6 of her last clutch whom are quite the trouble makers and caused so much drama during this incubation of this clutch she was left with 2 eggs. Even those 2 eggs at one point we're knocked...
