@Raenh can you post pics of them individually I think both are Muscovy. I tried your avatar but it's too small. Very cute though.

His bill looks like it is very clean glad to hear it's healing.

Lol I was just thinking the same thing

I love Fancy's blue eyes... they remind me of my grandmother's ❤ and she was kinda a nervous lady too...
Speedy has a natural poser smile, though lol
❤❤❤

Fancy climbs things and speedy is learning how to fly

Btw... I'm having a really hard time finding a vet near me.

Look how big and so pretty. Bless your heart we love you for caring so much about him♥


Any idea how he split his bill?

I forgot to answer this - on this I knew there was an open part on the long end, so I put it up top when I used it as a gate on their pen. Didn't see the short side, or I would have used it as the attaching side instead of the swing open. I have big painter sticks that I'm going to use to seal them, so this doesn't happen again.

@DwayneNLiz
ok, so I'm freaking out again. Please tell me this is normal?!
Speedy has started practicing to fly and i keep coming home to her stuck on the dishwasher or box by my door. That i can handle, but I think she might have slipped at one point because last night she was standing with her right leg tucked up, but I didn't see anything that I could tell wrong with it. And now this... I really need to find a vet.

 

[Raenh]

And now I just found out that the one vet i did find, if I don't have papers for my speedy, they might take both of them from me...

You don't need to take them to a vet. Texas is the only state though that protects Muscovy, so I see why you'd have to have papers. I have had Muscovy since 2004 and have never had to take one to a vet they are very hardy. We can help you with most problems you may face, but look how well Speedy healed from his injury Water fowl are pretty amazing. Standing with a leg tucked up doesn't usually mean an injury it just means they like standing and sleeping on one leg mine do it a lot.

Tell us all you have been feeding them feed and treats. What they eat can make their poop look different each time.

Your doing a great job with them.
