muscovy

I have a 1 and a half-year-old muscovy duck. Shes a little smaller than ducks for her age. I feed her about a handful a day and she seems to be thriving on that with no complications. But I'm not sure of this is enough. I know this sounds super stupid but I'm not that confident about what i...

Hey fellow duck lovers. Yesterday I said goodbye to one of my Muscovy ducks, Daphne. She died after a long bout with a respiratory illness of some kind. My question today is about her sister Gigi. Gigi has been standoffish the last few days, and I noticed yesterday was not interested in eating...

So my male muscovy Jack broke off all of his tail feathers fighting with his brother (who we've since re-homed). I pinned him down and pulled about 8 or 9 out. A week later I pulled some more. I didn't want to pull the rest until I saw some growth. Now here it's been 3 weeks since I pulled the...

My gosling started to flip over puke up water nd seizure yesterday and is now completely better. The new one is a muscovy and he started to flip over and puke up a whole crop of water a few minutes ago, he is also getting better. What is this? Did they drink too much? I've had this happen before...

I have a momma duck who has 2 babes. They’re in a pen, inside the coop, that she can go in and out of but they cannot. They’re around 2-3 weeks old. She’s been spending more and more time away from them. It’s not particularly warm here yet. 40-60F. I noticed last night she didn’t sleep with them...

Hello all, I have 7 Muscovies, 6 hens and a drake. Well, the hens don’t let my drake mate them. Anyway, yesterday I noticed that my drake cornered my chocolate hen and ran his bill down her back, but if she would try and get away he would catch her again and do the same thing until he was done...

I have yearling muscovies and all of their oil glands just seem to not be working properly, some are partially working while two girls just are dry and have no oil at all, they have access to a full yard of grass and have fresh water to bathe in everyday. I don't know what to do about it, all I...

Muscovy

6 month old female Muscovies

A wild muscovy duck that visits me often came around with 3 babies and she lost her last one earlier today. She seems to be really sad, moving slower, sleeping a lot more. She keeps making this kind of repetitive high chirping noise. I’ve never seen her act like this or make that noise. Is there...

I am new here, I have had ducks sense I was about 11 years old. Before I got ducks my mom always had chickens. Then she got 4 Pekin ducklings, I was hooked. From then I have had lots of breeds of ducks, Pekin, khaki Campbell, fawn and white runners, buff, cayuga, calls,welsh harlequin, silver...

Hello! I'm seeking some advice regarding Muscovy Drakes. I have two Drakes - one is the progenitor of the other. The eldest Drake is around 4 years old, the youngest around 5 months. In the last 3 or 4 weeks, I have noticed the elder Drake staying lower to the ground, being more separate from...

Hi folks, I’m after some advice please. We have 3 khaki campbells (2 ducks, 1 drake) and 5 chickens. A few weeks ago we rehomed 3 Muscovy ducklings from someone who had hatched but couldn’t keep them. It was only ever meant to be temporary until we found them a forever home, but we’ve fallen...

My Muscovy drakes carbuncle on the end of his nose is yellow/orange and is oozing clear yellow discharge if I touch it. Seems fine otherwise. But what could it be?

Beautiful Muscovy needs home asap. Our rescue received George from people who were feeding him at a local river. They were concerned about him getting eaten by predators. We had him at our facilities but he kept escaping to the river. George will need a home with a secure enclosure or fence. He...

My Muscovy hen, Biscuit, seems to have swelling around her vent and in her gut. This is in correlation with the mating season. The drakes (who are not muscovies and are a lot faster than her) have been awful to her and it’s gotten to the point where I’m questioning making a roast duck dinner...

Do male hinnies (Male Pekin mated to female Muscovy) have the same sex drive as non-sterile drakes?
