Why does my muscovy do this?

[Tay's Ducks]

Is my muscovy drake trying to mate or does he just want her out of his pool? He has done this more than once.

That is typical drake behavior. He will eventually mate with her and it will look like he is going to drown her but he won't. It's all normal.

What lucky ducks to have a huge pool!

My mom gets mad when she sees them in it so they’re only allowed when she’s not looking lol

How old is the Hen?..

She’s the same age as the drake. We got them together as ducklings last June, so they’re both around a year old!

Beautiful pair!
