Muscovy duck Q&A

[Miss Lydia]

They don't pay him any attention because alpha one makes them all keep their distance from him. When I isolate alpha 1 male then Drake 3 tries mating with them all

Take the threat away he acts like a normal drake. lol beautiful Scovy drake in your avatar.

I had 3 white females with beautiful blue eyes. All 3 have died from old age now. They were my first female Muscovy's.

I'm wondering if I should mix it up and get some dark ones

What colors do you have now? I had an all blk Muscovy drake when I first started and my 3 white girls and I never got an all white duckling but sure did get some pretty patterns out of that mix.

All mine are all white except momma duck she's like different shades of gray.

Anyone have any thoughts on this incubator?

Or should I just make a box with a light and sponge

So yesterday I found the ducks nest destroyed all hay gone and 4 of the 5 eggs missing and 5th one on ground undamaged and a new 6th one in nesting box. I put the 5th back in nesting box which is marked with a 5. This morning the one that's marked with a 5 is gone and the 6th egg that was played yesterday is still there and now a 7th egg. Long story short I now only have 2 eggs in nest. What could be doing this and could it be the ducks?

Where is this nest inside a secure building or out in the open? My Muscovy's have never destroyed their nests nor eaten their eggs so I am thinking you have some kind of predator. How are your scovy's acting? Do you have a game camera?
