I have two female Muskovy ducks. I got one first and then was looking for a friend for her and found one about the same age (8 months). The one is got first is relentlessly bullying the new one. I thought she’s be happy to have a friends since it was just her and the chickens and I know ducks...
I have a muscovy male duck, he is about a year old. And recently we noticed that his husky voice left. So we started to give him medicine. Its been 3 weeks now and his not getting better, his voice has not come back.
There is some discolouration around his beak, its no longer bright red but...
Hi all,
I have a Muscovy with angel wings. I watched YouTube videos on how to bind, but I am not sure I did it right!? I can confirm that it is not too tight, as I have been monitoring for the last 3 hours and s/he is happily eating, drinking, napping, walking and of course pooping. The left...
my muscovy duck cracked the tip of his beak, i believe he slipped and hit it against the floor. he’s eating and drinking (i put the food in the water so it’s easy for him to eat). what should i do? it stopped bleeding but it looks like it’ll fall off. should i take him to a vet to remove it...

We had recently brought home 3 Muscovy hens for a Muscovy drake that we picked up a month ago. They are all around a year old. Both owners said that we should get quite a few eggs/chicks by August. (We are in Southern Illinois incase location is a factor). We are curious as to when they may...
Hey, I have a 6 week old Muscovy duckling, I’ve had him since he was around 3 weeks old, I’ve held him, he follows me around, eats an drinks very well, but one thing I’m not sure of is when I go to pick him up like I have been for the last 3 weeks, he’s all of a sudden walking/running away or...
Hi,
Please excuse me if I am posting a question that has already been answered, but I've looked over the forum and in my Storey's guide to ducks and I can find a good answer. I have only found one note on the net that says 1½-2 months after hatching.
I have a Muscovy mother duck who has hatched...
I live in New England(northern ct), where it gets cold in the winter and hot in the summer and we have all kinds of weather.
I was wondering what kind of coops/runs you guys have for your ducks, I plan on getting 6-10 ducks. I am currently looking at the stress free chicken tractor design by...
So I have 15 muscovy ducklings. I can start culling about July 18 and if they keep growing at this rate that will likely happen. Should I deworm these guys so I don't risk ingesting parasites? I heard ducks are super resistant. I see no signs of worms yet. These are Muscovy if that helps and...
First off, it's a Muscovy baby duck who is probably around a a week and a half, maybe two. I saw the duck with its family yesterday and he's the smallest one, the runt of the group. I noticed that he was sleeping on his own and was far away from his family, so I bent down to see if he was okay...
