New Ducks

[Mrs. Fluffy Puffy]

I clip wings and they all are in a 1/2 acre fenced in piece of our property, They do get to come out when I can be with them but I haven't ever had one go that far from the house they usually stay right here.


Just my 2 cents which doesn't amount to much but since you already have Runners and they come in such an array of colors why not just stick with that breed 1 drake to 3-4 ducks.

Sounds like you have some happy quackers!

I wish I could get 2 of each but my 14ftx 10ft pen with 4ftx6ft coop attached to the outside just is not enough space.

Could I get 2 muscovies and just separate them during breeding season?

That might work, except for the fact that my Muscovies breed each other year round. ; ) But they do get more aggressive in the spring time (breeding season).

Yep but wouldn't that mean building a separate run and coop? and then if the drake ever breed one of your Runners and you hatched her eggs those ducklings will be sterile. Muscovy's can mate with non Muscovy's but their off spring are sterile.

I would just put up netting in the middle of my pen and split it into 2 7ftx10ft sections. and the only reason I would seperate them is because the muscovy males are so much bigger and i dont want one of the runners getting hurt.

You'll love Muscovys.
