Daffy, a 2 year old muscovy drake, became unwell while I was away from home nearly 6 weeks ago. I knew there was something wrong when my husband told me that Daffy was being bullied. When I got back, I found that Daffy had labored breathing -- using his abdominal muscles, with his mouth open. He...

A person in another forum writes: "I unfortunately have to give up my last duck. He wasn’t treated very well at the farm I had to keep him at (I had to keep him there bc I live on a property where having ducks is illegal) he is currently staying with my friend who can’t keep him due to too many...

This duck has just been rescued from a pond and I am trying to persuade the rescuer not to release it back to the pond when she has "fed it up". I know it is a domestic duck but she thinks its wild. It will help if I can tell her what sort of duck it is!

I have a previously healthy flock of 4 adult drakes, 3 muscovy and one pekin Two days ago, the pekin started limping. I checked his feet and he had a superficial abbrasion on his left foot pad but no pain, no inflammation, and no swelling. Yesterday, I soaked his feet in a bucket and cleaned...

I have an all male flock, mainly muscovy drakes and a little crested pekin that thinks he's a muscovy. The muscovy drakes get on ok, with only occasional bickering, and I am not sure who is "top duck" . The daft little pekin thinks he is top duck, but that's another story and he is certainly...

I came home to feathers on the ground. Pato, my pugnacious muscovy up on a garden table next to the shed where the ducks are sleeping. Pugnacious with me on occasions not often at odds with the other boys. He has a muddy mark on his neck but no other obvious signs of trauma. Butter was in the...

"From the troubles of the world I turn to ducks Beautiful comical things." F.W.Harvey 'Ducks' 1919 Harvey wrote “Ducks” whilst a prisoner of war in the Holzminden camp in Germany. His whimsical observations on the ducks were prompted by discovering a fellow inmate had drawn a picture of...

Daffy my muscovy drake is 16 months old and just coming to the end of a big molt. This morning my boy's eyes were normal but by late afternoon from a distance, he seemed to have whites coming in from the side. Once he was in the coop, I got a better look and got some photos on my phone. Any...

When I let my ducks out of the coop this morning, I found that one of my pekin drake's eyes was closed tight with wet yellow matter sealing the lids together. He was fine yesterday -- I might have missed this when I put the ducks to bed at 8pm but I had spent a lot of time hanging out with...

Black-bellied whistling ducks have extended their range and now migrate north as far as NE Florida. Lovely looking ducks!

I rescued 2 pekin drakes at the beginning of May 2022. I estimated that they were 6-9 months old: they were closely bonded together but also "neck wrestling" each trying to dominate the other. These boys were abused before they were dumped, they both have very badly, and unnecessarily, clipped...

I am open to advice suggestions as I rescued 2 pekin drakes 3 weeks ago and as yet have not found new homes for them. The drakes are likely 7 months old -- they are neck wrestling with each other trying to establish dominance, but still bonded close together, probably from adversity. These...

My back yard is shaded and had a lot of non-native sword ferns, Nephrolepis cordifolia, growing when I first started free ranging my ducks. I was pleased to see that the ducks are progressively helping me to rid the garden of the ferns [I had been trying with little success for quite a few...

Has anyone come across a muscovy -- that was previously very vocal babbling with normal female muscovy gurgles -- that started squeaking? [like a rubber duck!] My sweet little female muscovy, Max, started squeaking 2 or 3 weeks ago. She lives with her two buddies that are pekin females and all...

My local library in St Johns County has a pond that is a favorite dumping ground for unwanted ducks. Over 2021, I watched as the resident flock of Pekins reached 6. Yesterday there were 7 including a female who is laying. She is in good condition but wont be for too long with 6 Pekin drakes...

Hello! I retired to NE Florida [St Johns County] and, although I have had a virtually life long desire to raise bantam chickens in retirement, I found myself supporting my son raising Pekin ducks, this spring. He impulse bought 3 x day old ducklings mid-March and I spent 24 hours reading up...
