Muscovy fighting getting worse - at my wit's end!

Maybe you could find one or two of them a new home? I know it's a hard decision when you consider them to be pets. When I had the extra drakes, I kept trying to make it work. Then, I realized it was just too much extra work on my part to try to keep them all happy. I also didn't really have the room especially when they needed to be locked in the run due to predators. So, I rehomed them. The stress and work level went way down. You should also consider your goals for the Muscovy. If pets, you want them to have the best life that you can offer them. You could just wait and see. When my drake was here, he always settled down around this time of the year. Then, as each year went by, he seemed to be less hormonal. He was infatuated with me which led him to bite me and jump on me - I always looked forward to fall. 😆 I still miss his antics. 🥹
A few things have been keeping me from rehoming them - 1) it will stress them out, 2) they could torment someone else's flock, and 3) my flock is infected with MG. I could butcher them, but that is hard because they are pets. This is why I've been trying to make it work for two years now. I guess for now I will just keep doing what I've been doing. They are very entertaining.
