muscovey ducklings

Can these babies go outside with the rest of my ducks ? Afraid of hawks they have there shelter and such all fenced in but obviously a hawk could still fly up there roughy 3lbs to 4lbs adult feathering on chest tail and coming in on the wings they are Muscovy ducklings thank in advance ☺️

Does anybody else have a Muscovy hen that will absolutely NOT let anyone know where she is nesting? Her name is Lillie, and she is like Houdini. We have tried following her without being seen, but I swear she is psychic and will stop and go somewhere else and hide, making us believe we have...

I have three 14 week old muscovy drakes in need of a new home. Ducks were hatched on 7/4/23 They are very friendly Located in north western VA Would love to swap for females of same or different variety. I would also be happy to have them sent to a good home with nothing in return.

I got two Muscovy ducklings today, I currently have a flock of chickens and plenty of room in my coop and run (plus the 2.5 acres they free range) to put the ducks and chickens together... However I'm seeing conflicting information on how long the ducklings need to be on duck food before they...

I’m in south Florida (palm Beach county) and I’m looking to home 12 orphaned ducklings, appx 5 weeks old, Muscovy- that someone dropped on my doorstep (they have been properly quarantined for several weeks). I have a trapping service/rescue, but no room for this many ducks. I’ve reached out to...

Does anyone know which hatcheries sex Muscovy? Strombergs does, but they are sold out.

Hey y'all. I'm so glad ya r here. My Muscovy Drake, Mr scovy, and the love of his life, mo, (yes she's a hen, but the top of her head looks like mo from the 3 stooges 🤷🏻‍♀️) have been with us for about 2 years. The first year they were in lots, the 2nd year we turned em loose and let them...

I had a baby Muscovy that got hurt a few days ago, I got her all warmed up and she was feisty as ever, so I put her back with mom and siblings. That was Sunday, I believe. On Tuesday, I fed em all, everybody was fine. We left for a few hours, came home and she was dead. Today I found another...

Hi there, I don’t have chickens but I do have ducks. It happened by accident really. I had a mama duck nest in a planter box I had. End of June checked on them. Only one baby hatched and couldn’t get out on its own. So I helped them out and off they went with their mama. That was that. She...

Hello I have a 3 week old Muscovy duckling that has a bit of a crooked leg. She's starting to step on her own feet. She has been eating non medicated chick feed plus brewer's yeast since day 1. I also started giving adding brewer's yeast to her water when I noticed her starting to step on her...

My name is Hayder. I do not own any birds now but we used to own chicken, ducks and pigeons when I was a boy/teen. Although it feels like a long time ago but they certainly left their impression and i always loved birds. I wanted to join this online community to get better education about...

A loan baby duck we have in its own box in the garage. And for some reason it’s eye is all of a sudden watery and pussy. Doesn’t seem like he can even see out of it. What in the world? Think this is a Muscovy. We just noticed this 2 days ago. It’s always wet.

A wild muscovy duck that visits me often came around with 3 babies and she lost her last one earlier today. She seems to be really sad, moving slower, sleeping a lot more. She keeps making this kind of repetitive high chirping noise. I’ve never seen her act like this or make that noise. Is there...

I believe I have a broody muscovy. She started laying within the last month. Got mad about me taking her eggs so started laying waaaay up in the top of a 40ft tree, down a hole inside it so out of the wind mostly. So far she goes out every morning, flies up, lays her egg, then comes home. She’s...

Purchased 3 ducklings from TSC two weeks ago (they are 3-4 weeks old now) and after searching this forum on multiple occasions, decided to sign up. Hello to all! To avoid the many (what species is my duckling from the TSC “mix bin”?) repeats, I though I’d just introduce my three little buddies...

This is my first post! I have 3 Muscovy ducklings and 1 khaki Campbell duckling. the khaki should be 2 weeks old and I thought my muscovies were 3 weeks old but I’m not so sure now. I know they grow fast. Just for fun what do you think on genders? Black Muscovy- Gayle Blue Muscovy- Blu...

Hello I am trying to prepare for my ducklings(6) coming soon and I am having difficulty deciding what food to get them, I wanted to get mazuri waterfowl starter, and maintenance feed. I know its a tad expensive but I was concerned if 25 lbs would be enough for 6 ducklings and how long I should...

My favorite muscovy duck was killed by a raccoon close to my front yard. I was thinking about it, wondering why she was always hanging out by the front of my house and not by the water. I thought maybe she had a nest. Sure enough, I took a look around and found her nest. I recovered 8 eggs in...

Good morning! ...I’m brand new here so I’m not exactly sure how all this works...learning as I go, ha! I have a mama Muscovy sitting on 7 eggs which have begun hatching (I’ve got one so far) my dilemma is that she made her nest in a planting pot which sits high off the ground. That was great...
