I have flock of 6 pekin/muscovy ducks, 5 of them have no issues whatsoever, they are 6 months old. I had brought her in a couple weeks ago as she walked into a wall and wasn't hanging out with the other guys. I cleaned her up let her have two nights inside and when I put her back out she seemed...
Got 3 Muscovy ducklings recently, does anyone know anything about colouring names and figuring out the sex? I’ve seen people talk about them but not super sure myself.
Very healthy and happy so far, surprised to see how quickly they warmed up to me and now they sprint to me and follow me around...
Hello
So this past weekend we brought ho e 3 Muscovy ducks (1 drake 2 female)
We have a net enclosure with duck house.
within ten minutes the two females found a way out on part of the fence we missed weighing down. We hadn’t clipped their wings yet and they were used to free ranging. We were...
Hello, my duck has recently started pooping green this afternoon and I was wondering what it could be? She accidentally ate a small piece of a Taco Bell beef and cheese burrito when she was out of my sight so I originally thought that could be the cause until I found some of her poop she layed...
Please help! I got home late from work and found this Muscovy duckling stuck alone outside the coop. (My ducks put themselves to bed using a ramp, for some reason ramp was down and she couldn't make the jump up into the coop this time.) I think she was stuck outside for at least an hour, maybe...
I just noticed an issue with my young Muscovies plucking each other's wings. They'll reach out and grab another birds wing and yank the feathers out in the process. A few were bleeding. 😬.
What should I do about this and why are they doing this. I've never had this issue before?
I was given 20 free Muscovies a few weeks ago and didn't know that barred and rippled Muscovies existed until this year. I always had the black and white pied color. It turns out that 5 of the new ones are either barred or rippled, but I'm not exactly sure about the difference. I haven't...
Hello, I have 3 beautiful Muscovy hens for rehoming, would prefer they all stay together, they hatched in spring of 2020, all being from different places and parents. Located in Western MA. Pet only homes, or a home where they will be given at least another breeding season. They are all...
Hi, I have 8 Muscovy ducklings born on the 27th of may (14 weeks), and about 2 weeks ago one of my ducklings began to limp. We checked his foot but couldn’t find anything wrong with it and about a week ago he stopped walking apart from dragging himself into his cage or to his siblings. I have...
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...
