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

[StinkyAcres]

Do you know which girl or girls is doing this?

Yes. Winona mainly hurts Jeanette and Jeanette mainly hurts Willoughby. Although they all take turns going after each other...except for Willoughby now - she runs away from all the other ducks.

I think if I were to get rid of two it would be Winona and Willoughby. Willoughby will do fine with a chicken flock so I am looking for a new home for her. I'm afraid Winona is just too nasty to rehome.

I don't understand why they behave like this. I thought hormones but this time of year they should be mellowed out.

At this point I feel I've done all I could and it's just bad genetics.

I'm sorry, but you can't live like this either it takes the joy out of having them.

You are so right. Laguna beat up Jeanette last night. I think that is the last straw and two of them will go to freezer camp. I can't help but think I'm doing something wrong, but I've been searching for answers for two years now. It is so upsetting.

 

[Miss Lydia]

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. You keep trying with them, but it just hasn't worked out.

I really appreciate your help and support through all this.

I love all my birds but my Muscovy [since they were my first] have always been very special to me. I just hate your going through this and there hasn't been a solution.

If these 2 girls get along maybe you can rehome them together. Sometimes putting them into new surrounding can cause the 2 that come there together to bond.
