muscovies

My Muscovy has a clutch that she has been incubating so well like a good mamma. She only leaves once a day for food, water and to stretch a little. The eggs were supposed to hatch on the 20th, 35 days after the started sitting (which is what all the sites say is the hatch day for Muscovy) It’s...

I have Muscovy ducks, will be getting a pig in the near future, and am getting ready to start planting crops for them. (We also wanted to get chickens but there is a current poultry quarantine) were intending to grow corn for the pig but what other plants can I grow for my feathered friends...

Male muscovies have such thick necks that I stuffed up the last one, I used a hatchet and while he bled out within 20 seconds, it did not cut through the neck and was very traumatic for my brother(10) and I (I can still hear the poor duck gurgling) I think I lack the upper body strength, I'm...

I posted a thread a week or so ago about other options other than bag balm but i finaly found some! I have a moscovy who got bad frost bite on her feet. I read that bag balm is good for the recovery. But i also read not to rub, dab or wipe it on as its painfull and can harm them. So how would...

Hi Everyone, I'm hoping you have some helpful ideas. My pet Muscovy Zeb, was shaking his head violently(as they do) and bit his tongue but then when it started bleeding in his mouth, that made him shake his head more, so it kept getting bitten more, so I stroked him, talked to him and finally...

I am a first time duck owner and still new to tending to small farm animals. My Muscovy has been diligently incubating her eggs like a good mamma. But now it’s about time to move her into a separate enclosure. The enclosure she is currently in now contains the drake and three other females. And...

I have four female Muscovy ducks and one male. One of my females has laid and is brooding. She will be moved into a separate enclosure with her eggs as soon as it is built (which should be in a few days). But now another female has also started laying. Can I give the eggs to the already...

I've noticed today that my muscovy has dry cracked feet. She waddles outside but then ends up cracking and bleeding her pad. The bedding in the coop is all shavings. I just want to know how i go about it! I was thinking about buttering them up with polysporin but all the shavings will stick to...

Anyone with hybridization knowledge, or anyone who breeds/has bred Mules, feel free to chime in. I'm piecing together whether or not starting a project in the future is worth it and any help is appreciated. Basically, I was thinking that I could breed a huge batch of mules using a Pekin drake...

Hi everyone! I live in Miami and on my way home from work yesterday I stop at PetSmart to pick up cat and dog food. When I was getting out of the car I see a lady with a small box. As she's looking around mysteriously I realize she puts the box down on the side of a Coke Machine near the...

Throughout my flock of chickens are 2 muscovy ducks, they are the same age and i got them last spring. By fall they were pretty heavy and healthy, a month or so ago i noticed one was looking a little rough but with winter hitting -35 -40°C for a period of 3 weeks i picked them up today and my...

Using the search, very little current information came up regarding regulation of Muscovy ducks so here's how it reads today at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service: - Muscovy Ducks: You do not need a federal permit to raise and sell captive-reared muscovy ducks (See 50 CFR 21.54 ). Release of...

I have 2 one year old muscovy ducks (females) that were raised indoors since hatch and spoiled rotten. They jump into my lap for cuddles & peck at me until I pick them up. They are very sweet to people. Recently I acquired another muscovy from a farm that seems to be 2+ years old, and my two...

My friend had 15 Muscovies and now she has 9. They keep standing in their water tub and getting wet and then they freeze and die in the overnight temps! I’m not sure if it’s the cold and wet or if it’s the ducks piling on each other and suffocating the ones at the bottom. She uses a black...

I'm wondering if Muscovy hens will retain viable sperm from matings as do chickens, allowing them to keep producing fertile eggs for a period of time even in the absence of a mature male. Anyone's direct experience and observations to share would be greatly appreciated. If they do, I'd love to...
