    Muscovy Ducks - Hen or Drake?

    Hard to tell from photos...are they the same size? Are their feet the same size? I am currently raising a large batch of 2-month-old muscovies (mine hatched July 2nd), and differentiating the males and females is super easy and obvious--the males are easily twice the size of the females. So if...

    Which runner drake would make more unique colored ducklings--a black drake or a fawn+white?

    Hey y'all! Right now, I've got a variety of 10 week old runner ducklings. Some are from Metzer, some I hatched. I am only keeping one drake and trying to choose between a fawn+white and a black drake, both from Metzer. I have two blue hens, two black hens, one fawn+white (all from Metzer), and...

    Lost Muscovy in Parking Lot in Portland OR

    Oh that's sad--she is so pretty with her white head and chocolate body! I hope someone rescues her. I, too, would have thought she was feral, but like @ruthhope, I live in Florida, and we have lots of feral muscovies everywhere here.

    My drake is a jerk

    My drake is also a jerk. After careful side-by-side enclosures, I introduced my 14x 8-week-old runner ducklings to the older flock (one drake, four hens). Everything was fine at first, then my jerkface drake chased, pinned down, and then mated with one of the ducklings. I saw this all happen...

    Black Swedish and white runner?

    I have a silver runner and yours has the same exact coloring as mine (both bill and feathers), but your duck's body is not the same as my runner's body.

    What is wrong with my male duck's member?

    This happened to one of my drakes two years ago. He couldn't retract his penis and then his siblings bit the tip of it off. He was in severe pain and wouldn't eat. We culled him.

    Rough and raw skin on back under wings of female duck.

    My muscovies look like that under their wings right now because they are pulling each other's wing feathers out and sometimes they miss the wing feather and bite that area under the wing instead, injuring it. Also, as the pin feathers are growing back in, they seem to be further irritating the...

    Young Moscovies pulling each others pin feathers

    The ones pulling feathers here are the white ones, too! All my wild-type, I hatched myself. But I ordered the French White muscovies from a hatchery, and they are the ones who started plucking feathers. The wild-type did pull feathers for a bit, but it's been mostly the white ones and it's just...

    Young Moscovies pulling each others pin feathers

    Hey there OP, how are your muscovies doing? Mine are still pulling feathers. It's mainly two large beautiful females doing it now...they have perfect, intact wings and all the rest of the muscovies have chopped up wings and are always bleeding. Yesterday, during a supervised bathe/swim for my...

    Duckling has dry skin peeling and walking backwards while dragging bill on ground in a squiggle pattern

    OP, did the peeling neck skin start before or after the Epsom salt bath? It looks like some kind of chemical irritation/burn from the photo. Can't help you with the neurological issue, though--I don't understand how the two are related unless there is some kind of virus that is causing the skin...

    Young Moscovies pulling each others pin feathers

    How much yogurt and beer do you give them? And why do you give them beer?

    Young Moscovies pulling each others pin feathers

    My 7-week-old Muscovy ducklings are doing the same thing right now. It's effing BRUTAL. I have 18 of them in total: 7 wild type that I hatched, and 11 French Whites that I bought from a hatchery. They are always bloody. ALL of them eat each other's feathers--it's been going on for a few weeks...
