The Duck Thread

[RedIII]

My suspected female quacked! Yay! Now we know for sure we have a girl. And my MIL gave us a plastic pond she had laying around, so my babies have their own pool

Once we have the permanent pen built, the pond will be embedded down in the dirt for them.

Now, I must procure some peas and make friends with the duckies.

That is a very nice pool. Have you planned how you are going to drain the pool once it is in the ground? A sump pump is an option or gravity if you install a drain before you bury the pool. With 4 ducks we have to change the water in our pool every day. Since water conservation is an issue we fill our pool only half full and use the discarded water in the garden. -DB

Hi. I have 2 muscovy ducks and was wondering if anyone would be able to tell male or female. I believe that I have 1 of each.

Hard to say from a pic
But if one quacks already its probabmy a girl... How old are they?
Also keep your eye out for curly tail feathers, those you will see on your boys before they get their adult feathers.

I think they are around a month and a half. One does seem a little bigger than the other but it is not a drastic difference yet

No quacks or curly tail feathers with Muscovy.

Is one bigger than the other?

I know they are not very good pictures. Camera on my phone is not very good. But the one on the right looks bigger to me but it is not a drastic difference yet
