Hi! I’m hatching Muscovy eggs for the first time with a borrowed incubator (and it’s been a long while since I’ve done any hatching) and looking for some advice- though I’m sure this is a dumb question I want to make sure I get it right! I found the guide by yinepu when googling and I’ve decided...
Hello,
It's been sometime since I last posted, but I came here to ask about an issue which happened recently. So I have a Muscovy duck which got broody for the first time in its life, but it was always sitting and only rarely getting out to eat and drink, except there was a few days where the...
Hello all,
This may be a bit of a silly question, but I keep second guessing myself on this..
Yesterday we discovered Burger my 1 year old muscovy duck had successfully hatched 8 babies. Seven of the eight seemed to be at least a day or two old, and 1 of them had looked to have just hatched...
Over the past few years, My muscovy hen has been laying eggs since somewhere around 2022, I have never experienced this issue but today her poop seemed to be oddly very similar to yellow egg yolk; I checked her vent and it also is running the same fluid. Her vent doesn’t look extremely swollen...
Heyy So I've just noticed this on my muscovy ducklings beak and foot. it has been raining for a week now I just thought he was dirty as they love to dig about in the mud, but I noticed his foot today and had a closer look. Is it some sort of fungal infection? If so what do I need to be doing to...
Hello All,
So my 2 year old female muscovy duck (Pretty Girl) started vomiting "clear" liquid and some chicken feed tonight. I say "clear" because the color is clear now, the first few times it looked like it had a yellow tint to it. It was hard to tell because it was getting dark out at the...
Hello all,
My two year old muscovy duck (Pretty Girl) is standing/favoring one foot over the other. She walks around fine albeit slowly but she's not limping or anything. When she is standing she will tuck her foot up into herself. It's hot and humid out where I live, so I don't believe she's...
Hi there! New to the community. I have no chickens nor do I have a barn but I do have a lot of a Muscovy ducks that live around the lake that we live on down in florida. I came here because I have a question regarding one of The Mamas that has laid quite a few eggs right in front of our house...
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...
So I had a muscovy duck sit on 6 eggs, shes been sitting for around 3 weeks now, candled them and only 1 is growing. I took two eggs away as they was rotten and smelt bad. Shes abandoned the nest since I removed them, she was off the nest for 5 hours till I noticed, the eggs was cold. Since I...
Hello all,
I had made a previous post about this same duck a little while back about his droopy wings, but this is a different issue now. I wasn't sure if I should add on to that prev thread or make a new one, my apologies if I did this wrong!
Cheese the muscovy drake now has ice frozen to...
I have a male Muscovy duck who is about 19 months old. He is too big for my female ducks and i'm considering rehoming him. I am in Suffolk, VA. He's pretty socialized to people, follows me around all over the place, i'm just tired of him being way too rough with my small female ducks (I have...
I have a girl that was hatched 25th March 2023 and I was wondering when should she start laying eggs? I read that some start at 6months old but she hasn't even started yet. Getting a little worried something might be wrong if she should already be laying eggs by now.
Hello, I have 3 beautiful Muscovy hens for rehoming, would prefer they all stay together, they hatched in spring of 2020, all being from different places and parents. Located in Western MA. Pet only homes, or a home where they will be given at least another breeding season. They are all...

She is a mom duck that has been coming to my house with her two babies the last couple months. However, three days ago I noticed her laying down in my front yard with her wings a little droopy, and when...

I have a 6 week old muscovy duckling and I want to know or have an idea what gender it might be. I never had ducks before and haven't got a clue how to vent sex or what to look for. My duckling did start developing feathers around the tail quils (if thats what they are called) just before 3...
