Good afternoon, After losing his mate, my male Pekin has not been himself, and over the past month he has stopped bathing and something is VERY WRONG because he looks TERRIBLE!! He has several sores and is a complete MESS!! We keep our coupe immaculate and they are all very well cared for a...

PLEASE HELP! We have a Muscovy that was not due until Sunday. We couldn’t stop him from hatching and now he’s dragging around the bottom half of the shell that is still ATTACHED by some stringy material. I know I should NEVER pull it off, but I’m a wreak and don’t know what to do!

Hi! I honestly can’t tell if my 4 duck eggs are Mules, I have Muscovy’s and one Female Pekin. They dug a hole and laid 5 eggs on different dates, only 2 are the same age, 26 days today. If they are Mules I don’t know when to start lockdown, they are doing so well I don’t want to lose them! Is...

Hello to all! My ducks have began to lay again but are not sitting. They dug a deep hole and laid 6 eggs. The problem is we now have Pekins as well and I honestly don’t know if the eggs are Muscovy or Pekin! I need to find out because lockdown is different and the eggs are of different ages. If...

Hello to all! We currently have our first Pekin duckling from our 11 month old parents. She is 19 days old and was the only one that hatched out of 3 eggs. Mom didn’t sit, so I incubated her eggs. Her name is Stella and she is currently in a large puppy playpen with everything she needs. She...

Hello to all, Sadly, only one of my 4 Muscovy duck eggs survived. And my little miracle baby is alone. I have read and know lone ducklings do not do well due to the fact they are social animals and could actually die of depression and loneliness. 😢 I made a special brooder box for her with a...

Hi everyone, I honestly believe I’m cursed! I learned my lesson and DID NOT intervene this time except for a safety hole. My duckling internally piped and made no progress for over 48 hours, so I made a tiny safety hole and 48 hours later she zipped and hatched halfway out. She was 5 days...

Good morning! My daughter found 5 abandoned eggs scattered around our coupe a month ago. I was not going to incubate any more eggs due to all of the previous problems we have encountered with incubation. But a friend of mine fell in love with our Muscovy’s and very much wants to start her own...

Happy Saturday everyone! I just wanted to post some pictures of my flock of 9 Muscovy’s and 2 Pekins. I also want to thank all of you that helped me with some very scary situations with incubation and hatching, if it wasn’t for the help of this group, half of my flock would not be here today...

I really love this group and all of you have helped me tremendously! I have an important question regarding my duckling with scoliosis that I posted under Emergencies and Diseases yesterday. Not one person answered and I truly need help and advice.. 💔

Good morning to all! I have a Muscovy duckling that was born with severe scoliosis. I’m trying to give him the best life possible, but there are things he can’t do. We have 11 ducks and he and his two siblings are the youngest, at 7 weeks. His siblings stay by him and seem to protect him, but...

Good morning, Yesterday we came home to find an infant duckling on our front porch in a box. Everyone knows we keep ducks.. She’s just darling and so tiny! But I’m terrified because she hasn’t eaten anything or drank since 3:00 yesterday!! I’ve tried EVERYTHING! I drip her beak in water with...

Good morning, My daughter found these strange eggs this morning and I was wondering if the large one is from my Pekin. The small pointy one is a mystery, but my Pekins are only 5 months old and I’m concerned that the eggs will not be healthy. Thank you! Kindly, Amy

Good afternoon, So, what we initially thought was wry neck in my duckling is actually scoliosis, and a severe case at that. Little Franklin is now 19 days old and since day 1 I have been treating him for wry neck, obviously there was no improvement but I’m sure the vitamins kept him strong and...

Good morning, I’ve been wanting to ask this question for awhile now. We raise Muscovy ducks, and I’ve noticed with all my hatches that exactly at the 16 day old mark they begin to become very vocal. Before this time they sound like quite song birds, but as soon as they are 16-17 days old they...

I was doing some research and found out the causes of wry neck, including injuries, bacterial infections or a dirty brooder, botulism, and vitamin deficiency’s. But I can’t figure out why just one would hatch with it. He was large and overdue, but mom abandoned them and I have them in their...

Good morning, We are currently doing everything possible in regards to treating our week old duckling with wry neck. I purchased: Niacin Vitamin E Nutra Drench Electrolytes Selenium And I’m giving him scrambled eggs and fresh leafy greens with warm, moist compresses (which he loves! 💕)...

Good afternoon, My little wry neck duckling is a week old today, and his neck is showing no improvement. He can eat eat and drink on his own, play with his siblings and toys and runs around in their playpen and outside in the fresh air and sun. Here’s what I’m doing for him: Purchased feed with...

So, I’ve been treating my duckling with vitamin E, electrolytes, Nutra Drench and scrambled eggs. I need to get some selenium though. She can eat and drink but it so hard to watch. Her siblings are so good to her and stay by her side. ❤️ I massage her neck lightly as well. I did make a brace...

My duckling that was overdue hatched under mom with awful wry neck! I’m giving him electrolytes and Nutra Drench. I tried to make a brace out of a sponge but it didn’t work. He’s so full of life and does his best to keep up with his 2 siblings. Mom doesn’t want to take care of them after 3 hours...
