Hello all I am new to the site. Figured I would tell my luck on raising ducks. About three years ago, my wife and I got 2 Peking ducks to raise (she has raised ducks prior, me never). We had a success with them and let them free range in our backyard, one night something dug under the...

Howdy folks, It seems like ages since I've joined a new Internet forum! I was looking at Backyard chickens as a resource we could recommend for people who are new to chickens, and decided it looked interesting enough to join. My wife and I have been keeping poultry most of our lives. For...

So years of having chickens I have wanted to take on a trio of ducks. After lots of research and calling around I fell in love with the Muscovy ducks! After months of trying to find the right bird (I wanted barred and pied ducks!) I finally found the best lookin trio! Now, I have raised...

Hi, I got these lovely little mules today for $10. Very sweet, so quiet. Any idea what gender? I tried to get girls, these were smaller, less upright, no green on the backs only wing tips. They are 8 months. They barely make a noise when the quack because of the Muscovy it's a squeak quack.

About 3 - 3 1/2 months ago I bought 3 muscovy females after finding out that two of my four ducklings were drakes. I think that Venus is a girl but am not sure. A little info on Venus: She was born in October 2016, she weighs 6.6lbs, she keeps mounting all of my ducks(except boys), I do not know...

I was given two young Muscovy ducks (male and female) by a neighbor whom I'm farm sitting for. The male was being severely picked on by an older male duck and possibly a rooster that they were housed with. All his tail feathers had been pulled out and his bottom was picked at till it bled. I...

Hi, I'm new to duck ownership and I was wondering if it is normal for my 3, 5 week old Muscovy ducklings to prefer to sit in their house all day. They will come out when visited with food, and love their "pond" (kiddie pool), but will head straight back inside after their snack and and swim. Is...

Hello everyone! We are very new to keeping Muscovies.. we've had four chickens for about twelve months and a month ago took on a flock of four duck hens and a drake. All is peaceful between the nine birds, with no integration issues. When they arrived, I noticed the white hen (the rest are...

Hello all! Would anyone be interested in doing an egg swap? I have Muscovy ducks. The father is black pied. The mothers are blue pied and chocolate pied. I want some new genetics and new colors to add to my little flock. I really want all black/wild type, self blue (or any self color)... But...

Hello, I currently have seven Muscovy Ducks (six female, one drake) from two different families that have lived together happily thus far. The drake and two females are three years old, and the other four girls are just over one. Though they do not share their sleeping quarters, they are pen...

i just adopted 3 adult Muscovy ducks. 2-Drakes and 1-hen. I brought them home and put them in the chicken coop. How long should I keep them locked in before I allow them outside to free range around the yard?(live on 10 acre farmstead) Previous owner said the drakes get along, is there an issue...

Hello, I could use some advice. I have three Muscovy ducks.. one male and two females. the females have been laying eggs for about 3 months now and in the beginning I would go out in their Coop every morning and collect the eggs and they really didn't seem to care what I was doing. but recently...

My 3 yr old muscovy male has developed a neck problem in the last 3 months. He can no longer lift his head above his body. He frequently rests his head on the ground. The radiologist says he shows signs of inflammation in his neck vertebrae. Unfortunately neither the radiologist nor any of...

Hi I'm new here and I was wondering something. I just got Muscovy ducks 2 days ago (They were about 4 years old on my uncles farm) and we kept them in a cage for about 2 days, They had food, water, and everything. When we got everything settled and let them out they ate food, groomed themselves...

I have a muscovy mama that hatched 3 of her 13 egg clutch that seems to be paying less attention to the remaining. She hasn't booted them and still sitting on them. They look like they are ready to hatch. I'm worried that this isn't normal and don't want to lose the remaining ducklings. Any...

Hey Y'all - I've often found myself reading these forums as I've begun my adventures with poultry, so I finally decided to join to try and find an answer to my question. My muscovy 'hen' has not yet laid any eggs that I'm aware of. She is definitely a female, as she is smaller, smaller...

So... backstory.... I found a male muscovy dead in a pond and found it suspicious, ended up finding a duckling be itself in the pond frantically peeping and being ignored by the other ducks. Being the bleeding heart I am I couldn't bare to see the little guy hurt, especially seeing all the...
