Muscovy ducks

[timelord1020]

Well my older muscovy is a Male and it's mating season. He imprinted on humans and tries to attack (mate) with whomever walks outside (usually me) is there any way to stop this? I have a younger muscovy who I believe is a girl but he seems to like humans more.

I had a year old Muscovy drake that someone gave me and he had imprinted on humans. He would try to mate with me and would attack everyone else. I corrected his problem by getting hens for him and locking him up with them.

This seems to be a common problem in all human imprinted fowl and it's the main reason I don't let them imprint on me.

My drake was the same way imprinted on me since I had to take him from his mama to keep her from killing him boy was he imprinted but once I figured out the problem ( never had other drakes act this way) I went an brought home 3 females for him. It took him a while to bond to them but once he did that was it. He has been in love now with his girls 8 yrs.

I agree with the others to lock him up so he can't attack.
