Last month I put some normal duck egg and some muscovy duck egg in incubator. Last week one normal duckling hatch. I was really happy because this is my 1st sucess hatching duck even tought many egg failed to hatch.
This week 6 of muscovy duck hatched. They looks same, honestly i cant find the different of these 2 kinds of duckling.

What i want to ask is can I put them on the same growing box??

Hope I got reply with my bad english :D
 
Ducks are social animals. They like company. Since you don't have a lot of ducklings, the smaller ones probably are not in danger from the larger one. You should be able to raise them together. I have.

Oh, and congratulations on your hatch!
Ty for the reply and info sir :D
I will put them on the same box then, hope no problem occured :D
 
:welcome And congrats on you first hatch! Most people find hatching Muscovy eggs really hard!
It's okay to raise any breed of ducklings together. When your ducks get older, if the two normal and Muscovy breed, their offspring will be infertile. Do you have any pictures, I'd love to see some ducklings!
 
Here are some of mine from latest hatches:

these are my duckling
the bigger one really like to bully other duckling, and she eat all of their food. somehow I feel like I shouldn't put them together yet :3

Your big one is a Pekin and the tiny Muscovy's are known as White Muscovy's. I have young adult white Muscovy's and can share pictures of them in the morning if you like?
And they are extremely cuties!
