    New here! Duck advice needed!

    Hi everyone! I’ve been reading this forum for the best part of a year and have taken some great advice from it for us as new duck owners! We’re in the UK and have had two ducks for the past 7 months, a female mallard and a Khaki Campbell (we think he’s crossed with something else) drake. They...

    Help Me Determine the Sex of my Muscovy Ducks

    Hey! I need help determining the sex of my new Muscovy ducks. I got the three older ones (the two black ones and the all white one) on May 19th of this year and they already had most of their feathers grown in. The all white one was a runt so he was very small and his wing feathers were still...

    Question about "clean"ness of Muscovy Duck eggs in incubator

    We have 7 Muscovy eggs we are trying to incubate ourselves. They were somewhat dirty with mud and muck but we carefully and lovingly removed all we could using only a dry paper towel and a bit of steel wool on one spot of one egg. We don't know if that egg is one that is developing though. There...

    Muscovy in the rain

    Does anyone have a muscovy as silly as mine? She's in the back right. Check out the way she stands in the rain. I don't think she dislikes it because she never goes in or under the coop for shelter. She'll just stand in it looking like a penguin or a vampire. It's so silly. Is this normal lol?
