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...

Hello friends, I need help with a diagnosis and treatment for an adult female Muscovy duck. 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 just bought some muscovy ducks today and the seller didn’t tell me if he knew if they were male or female or their ages, so I tried looking it up and am getting some inconclusive results. can someone help me out? :( the first two pictures are separate ducks and the last one is them together

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...

I own 3 Muscovy Females and 2 Goose Females. Recently the dominant Muscovy(Dotty), has been bullying (chasing, harassing, etc.) one of my other Muscovy's(Penny). Penny has started not staying with the flock and instead watching them from across the yard and sitting alone, Dotty however is...

I took my ducks inside due to the cold temperatures outside, Will they be okay without water/food for the night?

The temperatures are supposed to go down by about 19 degrees tomorrow, I would like to know how cold is too cold to ducks.

Hey y’all, I am gearing up already for hatching goslings next spring, and was curious on letting Muscovy ducks hatch out most of my goose eggs next spring (I only have 1 pair of geese, they are Chinese geese) and I was also wondering how many goose eggs can one Muscovy hen hatch out in a clutch...

I've raised ducks for 6 years but roosting is new to me. I am 1 year into raising my muscovy ducks. They are completely independent and live on a large pond surrounded by plenty of trees and snags. They spend most nights roosting on the neighbors dock and free range during the daytime hours. As...

I've said this so many times, but, I'm picking up my Cayuga ducks tomorrow! I have an extra coop where they can be but it's occupied by my new muscovies (2 months old). The Cayuga ducks are fully mature, but obviously, the Muscovies aren't. I'm worried that the drake might try to mate with the...

In one of my first posts, I posted about how my ducks have wet feather. I've tried doing everything people suggested, but they still have wet feather and I have no idea what to do!? They're currently only males but I'm getting females for them soon, and since they don't swim I'm worried that...

Can goose and Muscovy ducks eat this - it's labeled sweet pea sprouts? I found them in the vegetables section at the supermarket and thought it would be a nice treat. But then I googled and found conflicting information. Some websites say it's toxic, some say it's different from the sweet pea...

We received two Muscovy ducks around 2-3 months ago. At first, we suspected that the black one was a hen and the white a drake. The white duck is considerably larger and has more of a caruncle but not as much as some drakes you see. It is also timid and gets bitten by the black one a lot. I also...
