    Wild 8-week-old Muscovy with Angel Wing

    I live in an HOA gated community in NE Florida. I have coffee every morning on my patio with a view of a large pond. Eight weeks ago, I noticed a Muscovy duck I had occasionally seen on the pond swimming with 5 ducklings. Within 3 weeks, 4 of the ducklings were eaten by a male Great Blue Heron...

    New Babies! Want to guess the colours?

    I got my new ducklings! And they are absolutely GORGEOUS! I also have no idea what colours or patterns they'll be. But I wanted to share, as I am absolutely blown away by them. Pardon the slightly out-of-focus shots of some, but these guys were not socialized and did not like being handled...

    How to pick up ducks and geese?

    Hello, I have 4 Chinese brown geese 2 Cayuga ducks and 2 muscovies. All of them panic when I pick them up, and I was wondering if there's something I could do for them to warm up to me more and be more calm when I pick them up? Or if there's any better way for me to pick them up :love

    I have 5 four week old muscovy ducklings I'm currently raising.
