Hi!

don’t give them calcium , what they need is Niacin, get liquid B complex and give them each 1ml every day over some treats make sure they eat it all .

I have Muscovy and I love them they were my first ducks . And that’s been almost 20 yrs ago in 2024. None of them are still living but I have their off spring. They are laid back, they do like water but not like my Runners and Buffs. I keep them in their own coop at night mainly because my Runner drake thinks it’s fun to chase down th females. They are very broody duck so next year if you don’t take up their eggs as they lay them you’ll have more ducklings that you’ll know what to do with. Do you know the sex?

They can mate any other breed but their babies will be sterile.
