Hi all, I have a friend who did no research before getting ducks and is not giving them to me. I have 2 ducks with 2 ducklings, I was wondering if they would accept the new ducklings, there are 3 and they are 2 weeks old, so are my ducklings, so I was thinking of gathering all the ducklings...

Hi all, I've been thinking about it for a while as my Muscovy's are horrible mothers (out of 9 ducklings only 2 survived, they are always leaving their duckligns outside at night for me to save) yet the wood ducks that hang around seem to be great mothers. I was also talking to a friend who buys...

Hi all, This is very sad but out of 12 eggs, there were 9 healthy ducklings (others infertile/quitters), out of 9 healthy ducklings, only 2 survived. The first one to hatch had completly dried out and was eating, drinking, had no abnormalties but was suffocated by one of his mums, they stood on...

Hi all, I seem to have a problem with my Muscovy ducks constantly putting cracks in their eggs, one of the more recent incidents was when there was a crack in an egg, so I fixed it with candle wax and the embreyo kept growing, I went to check on it yesterday and about a 1.5 cm circle of membrane...

Hi all... Today I decided to candle some ducks eggs that the muscovie's have been sitting on for a few weeks and normally when I candle them the egg just glows under the torch and mostly I see a darker shade band along the shell and this was before the Pekin male was "interested" so I knew they...

Hi All, umm... my Muscovy duck rarely comes out of her house and when she does, it's only at night time to eat what ever food is left over and have a drink, she stays in her house the entire day and for about a week she was sitting on no eggs, she started laying (well, I'm pretty sure it was...

Hi, I've done a bit of research but google isn't very useful for what I'm after. I was wondering if I could get a license for Black swans in Australia, well, more specifically, Queensland. I've read that to own Mute Swans you do not need a license, and that Black swans are legally hunted in...

Hi, I've noticed that the more I read threads, the more I notice members having titles such has "just hatched", "Golden feather", "Chicken obsessed", "New egg", "Overrun with chickens", "Chillin' with my peeps" etc. I was just wondering what these mean. I thought members got them depending...

Today, I went to the petstore and bought some Superworms as a treat to my ducks (I thought they were mealworms) and as I tip them into a big container to pick them out for my ducks, I notice a white one, so I have a look and everything is white. I compared it to the other superworms and this one...

After spedning the past hour reading "Muscovy keepers share your pic", after reading how many people name their ducks Daisy, Daffy and Donald I decided to make a thread dedicated to all the Daisy's, Daffy's and Donald's out there. So, please post if you have ducks by those names. Or any other...

Hi, I just read a story online where a lady bought a duckling for a desperate duck who put every once of energy into eggs that were never going to hatch. When the duck saw this new duckling in her nest, she got really excited and took to it immediately. Anyways, I have 2 beautiful muscovy...

Hi, I'm new here and have 2 beautiful scovies. I origionally had 2 scovies from the same batch, but, one night I forgot to put them back in their pen and our puppy played with the male (Donald) too much, we had to put him down, so, I kept his sister (Daisy) for a few months, she refused to...
