What shall I buy or build to provide nite housing for my 3 female Muscovy on those 5 - 10 icy nites each winter? Springtime is fair weather building time. [1st, these ladies are feisty, but tame, come up to 'ya asking to be petted for minutes at a time. Moby gets worked up and we play a game...

My ladies sit atop Woody duck boxes, at times leaning over and peering in the entrance hole. If the little wild wood ducks like trees and tree cavities, just as 'scovies do, would they utilize goose size boxes similar to what the Woodies use? In the 2nd pic, Lu-roy is flying into my face. I...

Jeepers! I thought 'Scovy ducks didn't start laying in the winter. One of my 5+ month old girls was acting odd yesterday. Actually, she was the last one to take up wanting to be petted. Then yesterday, she was very calm and didn't dodge my hand; stood there getting scratched and petted a...

So, at 3 weeks looked as if we had 3 drakes and 1 duck hen due to size. They’re 7 weeks now and thinking of rehoming drakes. But now 1 is the biggest and the other 3 seem about the same size. Was I wrong? I’m going back and studying my pictures, noticing their feather growth this time around...

Newbie duck owner desiring all hen duck flock. Our small pond will only sustain a few ducks. These (3) guys get along with each other and are social with people. Am willing to drive several hours to rehome.

The flea market ducklings idea was a bust; heavy traffic backed up for 3 miles. Made the plunge and ordered the minimum 15 white muscovies from Metzer. Later I requested and they agreed to ship only 6 mixed run but charge for the 15. Somehow missed that ducklings ship right after hatching...

I've looked at getting ducks, (muscovies) for years and am ready to leap. I'm in Alabama and don't want 'em shipped from far away, plus I need black/any color, specifically not white muscovy for these free range ducks. Looks as Trade Day Flea Markets are my only option. Here's the kicker. A...

I've scanned 2 Muscovy books and searched all the way to the end of the internet and still have questions. I'm retired, have time & some $$, (think auto door, feeder, outside motion lights, ect..) to invest in preparation for these ducks, but need to get a starting idea of what might work. My...

OK, I've cleared the brush back from the far side of pond, thinking some ducks would be nice. Here's the setting and my goals; 100' X 75' pond is 50 yds. from house in full view. I've trapped & dispatched lots of coons/possums and will continue to do so. I can place a proper coop (heat lamp...

I'd really love to have a few ducks in our 75' X 110' pond in close view of house. Possibly could take a drake now and then to keep the numbers down and wouldn't mind trying an occasional duck egg, but that's not important. Just want to look out the window and watch 'em swimming. Don't want...

All right, made it to retirement, 5 acres off the road, a house by the creek, and a smallish 0.15ac/6600sq.ft. pond. We tried releasing 30 quail last spring and at least 5 made it until the 1st weekend of dove season when the countryside exploded with shotgun blasts. Since, there has been nary...

I've ordered 3 dozen bobwhites from a quail ranch an hour's drive off. We've just retired and moved to the country (northern Alabamie) 2 years back. There was 2 bobwhites to be heard year 1 and then just a lonely bobwhite year 2. Haven't heard a quail these last 4-5 months. Started cage...
