Male muscovys only hiss females make a chirp sound thats how we tell males from females.hope that helps you
So can you determine the gender of my 2 white Muscovy ducklings?
Pretty sure we have some Scovy Texans here on this thread, hopefully someone can help you out.Hello everyone! It was only at the beginning of this year that I let my Muscovy fixation iwn me over. I purchased a single Muscovy hen and she has been my absolute favorite duck in the flock. She's got loads of personality!
The problem is that the male Muscovy duckling I was raising up died early on from a hawk attack (my dogs didn't let him get away unscathed apparently but the duckling died from the injuries/shock). Now I'm trying to find someone in my area who is selling Muscovy hatching eggs.
I live in Harlingen, Texas. No one locally sells Muscovy ducks, let alone their hatching eggs. We have loads of wild Muscovy ducks due to the area being so close to Mexico and it being the perfect conditions for them, but apparently people here just don't see the appeal. I happen to love them, though.
Short of stealing some wild Muscovy eggs (I swear I don't plan on stealing eggs, it was a joke), I have no good leads. Anyone have any ideas?
Note: I wasn't home when the hawk attacked. I just know that a hawk was there because of the dead duckling and the hawk feathers my dog had in her mouth. I don't train or teach my dogs to attack them, but my main flock protector is a good girl and is really protective of all my birds. Just making that clear. Last time I told someone, they really tore into me about how I was breaking laws for teaching my dogs to kill hawks. Some people just love to jump the gun, apparently.
Shoot I would love my dogs to learn to attack hawks , but never the less they would probably not get the hawk but the duck insteadanyway I'm so sorry about what happened to your baby boy it's always hard when a baby dies, how big was he when he was attacked by a hawk? I keep my muscovies inside till a month then in the garage till I think there big enough to go to the pen outside , and I let them out when there flight feathers are fully formed , to be sure they can escape predators, but my babies ie already had this year developed there flight feathers early and there still kinda small so there still in the pen
So make sure there big enough, males probably 7 to 12 pounds ( the average) before you let them out, if there even kinda small a hawk might get them
