I’m looking to buy Muscovy ducks. What should I expect to pay for ducklings or laying ducks? I live in Indiana.

Maybe that is why your muscovy mixes are more skiddish? Poor things having their beak tips removed. How did they remove their nails? Ouch.I think people who value their animals and want them to have a good home charge a little more,
But if your buying someones animals your going to check their place out and decide if there good people or not anyway
I paid 10 each for my moulard ducks and they had their toe nails and the hook on their bills laser removed already
I paid 12$ for my pekins, ive seen adds as low as 5$ for muscovie ducklings and as high as 150$ for a breeding pair
Well, mine can claw because they have the nails to do so and it is a defense mechanism. But I've never had them try to bite me. They nibble like any duck does.They came from a hatchery in Quebec city, They laser off the cuticle so it cant grow. Its so they cant hurt each other ide assume
It was done to them when i got them
When you pick them up they try realy hard to bite and claw
Your definitly right!Well, mine can claw because they have the nails to do so and it is a defense mechanism. But I've never had them try to bite me. They nibble like any duck does.
I would trim their nails before I would cauterize their cuticle.
What I am saying, is that due to their treatment prior to you getting them, they see humans as harmful, so they would be much more fearful.
Mine are not cuddlers like pekins can be. But, I have dogs that I cuddle with - didnt need to cuddle with ducks.
As they grow they seem to get better and more tame with age. My scovies wag their tails when they see me. They let me pet their neck and such, but don't really want to be held which is typical of muscovies.
Sorry to take over the OPs thread like this though.
