I have 4 muscovy ducklings just a little over a month old. I love reading these stories.Since everyone has been so nice I thought you would like to meet Daryl....the wonder duck! One year old. The sweetest most kind and fun loving barnyard animal I have ever seen. His heart is on his sleeve and he just loves his girls Carol and Beth. He doesn't just greet you he is genuinely glad to see you. For anyone thinking about ducks. The Muscovy were recommended to me by duck people on my state thread. I can't say enough good things about them. I have three little neighbor children 3-8. They are fixated on them and are down at the pond every day to give me an update on their activities. The ducks have other friends now. Make that a relationship. The little girl was telling me that "if your lady duck has 11 eggs she is hatching, you could keep ten and give me one". I'm going to have to keep one now and make it her duck. It can live with Daryl but it will be her duck. The pond is 100 feet from the bottom of the little hill in the back. Yes, he enjoys having his picture taken.

Completely healthy and active. No change in behavior. I will take your advise. Their drinking habits are ....out of the kiddie pool and their two water containers available. However.....the pond is now his primary drinking spot so will insert yet another drinking container down BY THE POND with the formula you suggest and watch for a while.Put 1 Tablespoon of ACV into 1 gal of water my birds love it. If you can try and get the ACV with Mother it's better for them and us, yes I use it too to drink though not to dunk my head into
Sounds like your pond shouldn't be causing problems you ought to see what my scovy's and other ducks are enjoying right now mud and more mud they are pretty tough birds really I think this foamy eye will eventually go away with your drake. Is he acting healthy in all other ways. Aren't they just the coolest ducks?
Yes, a big fan and just went to one of their conventions.I have 4 muscovy ducklings just a little over a month old. I love reading these stories.
Did you name your ducks after The Walking Dead ?
I bet that was fun!Yes, a big fan and just went to one of their conventions.
You folks are going to have to forgive us TWD fans for a minute......IT WAS A BLAST. I got to meet Daryl, Negan, Tara, Simon, Glen, Shane, Carl, Abraham, Rosita...and my absolute favorite ...Jadis. You wouldn't believe how beautiful she is in real life and what a great lady. Nothing like the character. A good 10,000 people there in Portland. Incredible. Everyone was having a great time. It was like we were all best friends, hard to explain.I bet that was fun!
