Hello everyone! I have four Muscovy ducklings that I incubated about two weeks ago. They’re growing fast! I just have a few different questions in regards to them. This is also my first time having ducks.
1. How old before they can be sexed?
2. When do they start laying?
3. Can they be kept with chickens?
4. Should their pen be covered? Will they try to fly away?
5. Has anyone trained theirs to use a nipple waterer, or automatic feeder they can step on?
6. Do they take dust baths? Or mainly clean off in water?
7. Besides their bagged food, what else can they have as far as treats?
8. What male to female ratio should I have?
