Muscovy keepers share your pics!

I'll post some pics of the ducks when I get home from school. I am 15 but I am fully capable of raising them without the help of my parents. And they like that I'm doing this because they like eggs

How can I keep my Muscovy drake focused on my Muscovy duck instead of pulling all of my Swedish ducks feathers out? He snaps the metal bars on my fence to get to her and it's just making me so mad but he's my first duck I ever owned so I can't just get rid of him. Any and all advice that can help would be great. Thank you.

Out of sight out of mind to keep my gander from pining for my Muscovy duck and bond to his new mate[a goose] I had to keep him from being able to see the duck. Tarps etc work for this.

So I was digging a little swimming pond for my ducks yesterday and found some worms. I brought them to my drake but he didn't want any thing to do with it so I brought it to my female and she jumped up and snatched it out of my hand

So I got a bucket and put more in with some dirt and I guess she saw me do it because I set it up high in the shed where I keep them at night and she was up there eating them out of the bucket

Cute, I used to do the same things with minnows I caught in our pond

I quit doing it though because fish can hold parasites, not sure about worms but just an FYI moment

Too funny... they are smart.

My 5 girls love to dig for worms and grubs with me. I buy mealworm treats for them too. They can't get enough of those. It's an easy way to get them into their pen at night. All they have to do is see or hear me shaking the canister I keep the mealworms in and they come running. I pour a little in my hand for each of them. I think I've spoiled them a bit though because they've begun opening and closing their mouths at me and pulling on my pants in demand of more.

X2 Bugs comes running at me anytime I walk outside. I feel terrible when I am out of meal worms.

hello all,I'm new to the site and don't have any ducks yet,but really like Muscovy ducks! I worked for a older couple in Indiana that ran a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and that's where I saw my 1st Scovy Ducks. There were a family of them and the father was the 1st Duck to eat out of my hand,and they would follow me around the whole summer when they saw me. Anyway nice to see a thread just for my favorite Ducks.
