Muscovies( is the correct spelling) and they are not aggressive averagely they are some of the most friendly ducks that form some of the deepest bonds. They are also some of the most domestic breeds so I am confused on where you are getting "wild" from? . Anyway, It does take them a while to mature mentally so they still usually follow whoever they think mom is around for a long while past their full adult molt. They do nip here and there but thats because males see mom ( even if you are male yourself) as a female that can be bred just like any other female duck, so yes there is some nipping and chasing but they do eventually grow out of that , and if you know how to handle it the nipping and chasing really isn't even that bad.Once the male has grown out of that stage he is more ready to start his own harem away from "mom". Females are much more calm and collected at an earlier age and are more independent of "mother" after their adult molt, they rarely cause any trouble and spend most of their time dealing with males.Moscovies are mean,so be redy.But the older they get you will here a hiss cone from the males and the hens make a pipping sound and are usually quite.
Thank you everybody. Everything i bought from tractor supply this year... has turned into another surprise!! Its like christmas!!! Haha
Cupcake is a Muskove. Pekins don't have that little hook on the end of their
bill.
Your talking about your female Pekin? @treedr ? How many drakes to females? time out works for keeping drakes from injuring female ducks not much you can put on to protect them especially if they are going to have access to water. Keep drakes inside a pen where they can't all get to your females at one time they can also gang up and drown one too.The ratio should be 1 drake and at least 3 and up for the femalesI have used aprons on my layers but now my male Perkins chase the one girl around the property and are very rough with her. How do I protect the back of her neck where they hold her? Especially something that won't stay wet.
