Now they are outside (8 weeks old) and are very nearly ducks, instead of ducklings!
And here is the new pen:
I'm about 95% sure that there are three drakes and three hens. One blue hen, all the drakes are pied, but I'm not sure if they are all going to be black or if a couple will be chocolate.
I'm wondering if something is wrong with my 2 4 week? old girls. They will walk around for a few min. then lay down they lay down alot. They eat drink poop and play in the water fine. They are eating waterfowl starter. I'm worried if the have week legs. They walked around the living room tonight walked about 12inches than laid down. They aren't falling down. Are they just lazy?
Thanks
Muscovies can be pretty lazy ducks. I know that my male ducklings are Much less active than my females, the boys like to plop down a lot, even if they're just eating or drinking real quick, they will still plop down then jump right up a second later to waddle back out to the yard. I wouldn't worry about them unless you see some obvious signs of weakness in their legs, like shaking/wobbly knees or if they act like they're painful.
I guess my ladies are just lazy. They both have straight tails no curl Are they girls or are they to young to tell the tails are fully feathered I posted this in more than 1 place
