    EMERGENCY! Muscovy Nest Emptied. Can The Eggs be Put Back?

    Writing this fast, so pardon any grammar errors. This is the situation: Late this March, Jamboree (my female duck of a drake-hen pair) began laying, and soon after became broody. I don't know if she had ever laid/hatched before since I bought her as an adult, but she was super faithful about...

    NEED HELP! First time hatching, they are Muscovy

    Hello, I’m on day 20 of hatching two Muscovy duck eggs. Turning 3 times a day. 37.5 degrees and I’m so confused on humidity because I’ve read so many different forums and articles online. I try to aim for more of a dry hatch so it’s usually around 47/48% I’ve tried cooling and misting one or...

    Re-Homing ducklings Florida

    My two hens had 25 ducklings between the two of them. They are three weeks old now and I can only keep 6 (based on my pen size). The babies are French whites. (The three dark colored ducklings I traded with the owner I got my original three from) Because I have three French whites, I wanted to...

    I call myself the “Mother Ducker” Hahaha…. Ashlee Carol ❤️

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I have three adult Muscovy ducks (1 Drake…2 Hens) I hand raised these three in my house. They are a year old and just had 28 babies between my two. My hens went broody together and co-nested and are co-parenting. I only lost three...

    Brand new owner of 2 rescue ducks, is this bumblefoot???

    Hey all! Two days ago, after much prep and planning, I went and picked up two female Muscovy ducks from a rescue here in Texas. This is our first duck experience and now I'm freaking out inside because I think one of them came with bumblefoot! I managed to get a hold of here which was terrifying...

    Raising Muscoys

    I have 11 Muscovys. 2 drakes and 9 hens. I live in the country and have them living around my 1/2 acre pond. They do pretty good here except for the occasional loss due to predators. Looking for a method to give the hens a relatively safe place around the pond to have ducklings that lets them...

    My spoiled Muscovy gal

    I just wanted to share with y'all the sounds of my extremely spoiled Muscovy, Cheech (link below). We found her alone in a parking lot when she was a day old (we think) and then raised her in our apartment for the first year of her life, so she's pretty attached. Now that she lives outside with...

    Lone Muscovy duckling, should I help it?

    Hey everyone! So, I was out yesterday, and I saw a malnourished looking Muscovy duckling. He had the feathering of a month and a half old duck, but he was the size of a three week old. I looked around for a mom, or some siblings, but I didn’t see anyone with his colouring (he’s light grey, the...

    More ducks dead and paralyzed. Botulism?

    Ten dead now. They're always either paralyzed or have parts paralyzed. I'm getting a culture done on one of them. The Muscovy in this photo thankfully looks better after some TLC charcoal chick starter and probiotics his neck is not locked anymore and he can move. There are now three in that are...

    When is it humane to euthanise unwanted eggs?

    Hi there, I’m hatching a few Muscovy Eggs. Currently have 6 going but I’ll only need about 4, I’ve been wondering to what point it is humane that I dispose of any extra unwanted eggs if too many develop? I read it’s up until 80% of growth, on what day of incubation will they be 80%? I would hate...
