OH FOR PETE'S SAKE! Really? Man...Bean'll be 6 months old next week. Am I doing something wrong? Do you think her diet's okay? I wonder when I should start giving her more calcium. They have oyster shells, but Wobs likes them more than she does so I try to limit their access so he doesn't get too much calcium in his system. I'll pop some in her nighttime water every other day though, just to be sure she gets some. I'm so scared of her becoming egg bound!

Amy - If Bean was born on Easter, she will be 28 weeks (7 months) on Sunday.

So Dahlia was rehomed with a really sweet chick who has the most prettiest blue Swedish named Oliver! They are inseparable! She said I could have any eggs they make so I could have one of their babies. If Oliver is a boy, that is.
She updates me on my Dahlia often. Dahlia is so very happy!

Dahlia??

Dahlia??

She was a foster duck I had for months that I was looking for a home for, Hun.She was very very sweet & very much handle-able but she needed an outside yard & pool set up that in my current house is not safe as my neighbor's dogs & strays tend to get in the yard or people jump in & destroy stuff. I love her but she needed a better home.
Dandilion River is my house Muscovy but has turned out to be an aggressive boy. It makes me very sad but he is snapping at my small dogs, cat & bit my roommate who has always handled him. He's very good with me but even still has tried on occasion to go after my face aggressively. This duck was raised as I raised my Daisy but I don't know if he's being this way just because it's his way or he's a drake or what...I don't know, but the others in my house are not happy with it & I'm at a loss. It makes me very sad that my second chance at having that house Muscovy love isn't turning out very well.

Okay for the moment, it's bc he's a boy he will get over it, if u correct him, I 'arm train' mine esp my males. What I call arm training is I set them on my arm and train them to sit there. When ever my boys get a little frisky I pick them up and put them on my arm and hold their beak and say no. Also it's not aggression it's special 'lovin' he hasn't really seen another female duck so he sees everything as a love 'toy' I would recommend getting him some hormone blockers, ( perscribed by a vet) or getting another house duck ( but a girl) and if u don't want babies then I would get a mallard derived breed, then u have a slimmer chance of getting babies
