i have a 1 month old muscovy duck and a few questions.
is it necessary to keep the wings clipped. right now her wings are clipped but when they grow back im wondering if i should clip them again. we have a fenced in backyard but close neighbors. i want her to be able to fly up to the nest box and away from danger but i don't want to risk her flying into the neighbors yard.
do all muscovys roost? and what age do they start roosting? yesterday evening i walked out to see my muscovy sitting on top of a table a few feet above the ground. she cant fly so i no clue how she go up there but im wondering if she is getting ready to roost.
how many eggs do they lay a year?
can a hawk eat a adult muscovy hen?
in the winter do they still like to swim?
