muscovy

My Animal Science teacher is planning to hatch quail٫ ducks٫ Muscovy ducks٫ and chickens all in the same incubator. Will anything be able to hatch with all of the temperature٫ humidity٫ and incubation period differences? I told her I had fertile duck and bantam eggs٫ but would rather hatch them...

I've got 4 Muscovy eggs on day 29 in the incubator and I noticed two of them wiggling. I removed the automatic turner and checked back about a half hour later and one of the wigglers moved a couple of inches and had spun around 180 degrees to point in the opposite direction I left it in and I...

My 2 yr old muscovy mom, Luna, has always been very good at hatching out her clutch however we still have 6 of her last clutch whom are quite the trouble makers and caused so much drama during this incubation of this clutch she was left with 2 eggs. Even those 2 eggs at one point we're knocked...

Hey, So i hatched a muscovy duckling from an egg I found at work and its now 5 weeks old but i wasn't lucky enough to find another egg at the same time as this one was in incubator ( i didnt expect to hatch successfully with me being a first timer) so I bought some muscovy eggs and sadly some...

Well...Good Friday was the day! Two of my ducks hatched! Six am and 8am. I was completely intrenched and barely took my eyes off the incubator. This was my first time hatching and I was such a nervous wreak about it that I forgot to feed the dogs that morning! I couldn't believe it. No...

I’m in south Florida (palm Beach county) and I’m looking to home 12 orphaned ducklings, appx 5 weeks old, Muscovy- that someone dropped on my doorstep (they have been properly quarantined for several weeks). I have a trapping service/rescue, but no room for this many ducks. I’ve reached out to...

1 month old duckling (Keith) was outside with his Momma and the rest of our muscovy flock (free range during daylight). We noticed that his Mom was fighting with another female in our flock. After breaking it up we found the baby on the other side of the barn hiding and wounded. We gave him a...

I own 3 Muscovy Females and 2 Goose Females. Recently the dominant Muscovy(Dotty), has been bullying (chasing, harassing, etc.) one of my other Muscovy's(Penny). Penny has started not staying with the flock and instead watching them from across the yard and sitting alone, Dotty however is...

Hi Folks, My duck hasn't been sleeping in her box at night, looked under a tarp and there are 10 scattered eggs. Little sneak! So some questions- Can I just remove all the eggs? Or should I supply her with fake eggs and let her go through her cycle? (With pigeons you have to replace the eggs...

I am brand new to Muscovy ducks and only have one at the moment: When my drake lost his mate I thought I'd get him another and a nearby Craigslist post led me to a flock of muscovy ducks. I assess the seller as a nice enough person and it all seemed innocent BUT... he showed me his flock of...

My female black and white Muscovy hatched her eggs nearly two weeks ago. Five are yellow, five are black and yellow and four are brown/grey and yellow. Their father is the same colour as their mother (white head, neck and belly and a mostly black back, wings and tail). I know the yellow ones...

My female Muscovy is a first time mum and hatched out 15 ducklings over a week ago. Yesterday when I went to feed them one duckling was missing. My children found it hiding well away from its mum and siblings. When we took it back the mother started pecking it and chasing it away. It took refuge...

Okay so my duck Marie is disabled but I don’t know why (btw Marie is a drake but I didn’t know when I named him) I will be sorting this post in sections so it’s easier to read. Legs: When we got Marie as a duckling he couldn’t walk for the first three months of his life. We massaged his legs...

I took my ducks inside due to the cold temperatures outside, Will they be okay without water/food for the night?

My ducks water is freezing, what can i do about that?

The temperatures are supposed to go down by about 19 degrees tomorrow, I would like to know how cold is too cold to ducks.

Hey y’all, I am gearing up already for hatching goslings next spring, and was curious on letting Muscovy ducks hatch out most of my goose eggs next spring (I only have 1 pair of geese, they are Chinese geese) and I was also wondering how many goose eggs can one Muscovy hen hatch out in a clutch...

Hi everyone! My pet duck who is a year and a half old, suddenly stopped eating. She’ll pick up the food, shake her head and then spit it out. She’s drinking plenty of water and she’s acting exactly the same. She’s just as chatty and she’s still foraging during the day. The only other...

I went to check on our 9 muscovy babies, and one was standing on another ones neck. It isn't moving very much at all, it's pupils are going big and small, big and small real fast. I can feel her breathing and she is moving around a little. What can I do? She is wrapped in a towel in my lap for...
