muscovy egg laying HELP

[sarahkoko]

Ok thankyou so much for your help! so u reckon she’ll be happy with a duckling they won’t fight?

I see. Well, I don't know where to point you now. If the ducklings are muscovy, that might work. Otherwise, maybe it is fine for her until you can find her a friend. I know mallard based ducks will mate muscovy, just that the offspring will be sterile.

You would probably need to integrate somewhat and I don't know about at what age. Does she have a coop?
I am not familiar with all of that as my knowledge is only 5 week old muscovies plus lots of reading.
Maybe @Miss Lydia or @Nyla as they both have Muscovies too.

She will have to be introduced to your new duckling very slowly and of course ducklings have to be brooded till they are feathered in. So you'd have plenty of time to introduce your duckling to your adult by taking it outside on nice days and letting them meet but you have to do it slowly because an adult duck can injure or kill ducklings. But if done right and when time for the duckling to live outside they should be good friends.

Please keep us updated!!

And you can always let to collect a clutch of eggs and go broody on them [what I mean is since she is Muscovy eventually she'll go broody that is what they do] if she is hanging out with wild ducks there is always a chance they will be fertile crack a few open and post a pic we can tell you if it's fertile. The ducklings would be sterile but hey good way to keep the population down. And your duck would have her very own family.
