Hi all! I'm new to this site, but hope to get lots of great info, and maybe share a little of my own! 2 yrs ago we got 1 male and 2 female black musc.s Last...
That does sound different :) I have four muscovys right now. Three of them are all white except for a black spot on their heads. I have an odd one tho. He...
i have 10 muscovy ducks, 8 hens and 2 males. we have made them houses but they wont go in them, can anyone tell me what or how to do before it gets really...
The last thing you want to do is feed them inside their houses. Ducks will make a point to nest away from food. Food can bring bacteria into nests and also...
I dont think it would be harmful to feed the ducks in the houses for just a little while to get them comfortable with being inside the house. Of course all...
But it is their nature to not nest too close to their food. Unless they are locked up with the food, they will inherintly know not to nest close to their food....
hi everyone, i have 8 muscovies and am moving house soon once ive
transported my ducks do i need to keep them in their shed for a while to get
tehm aquainted...
I think Scott got my idea. Just feed them there a time or two so they are sure to notice them, then feed in their usual place. I have around 30 that free-range...
... I wouldnt go so far as to say they would be better off not to eat than eat dry food but if you add water to a bowl that their food is in and mix so that...
I agree with the wet food theory..Corn is sometimes tough to eat dry. Martin eats much better when there is water near for him to drink. He chokes alot if...
Hi Scott, I used to only feed mine dry pellets. The only time I had ever made a "mash" for them (just a thin layer of pellets with water to the top) was when I...
I would guess that if you asked the ducks, they would probably prefer a nice "moist" meal. Basically what I'm saying is that it isn't mandatory that their food...
BTW- my recipe now is to place a scoop of chicken scratch ( crushed corn ) and a half scoop of non medicated chicken starter and mix with water so the water...
Hi all, Just to inform (ou remind) to you all, that i'm avaiable to any kind of webdesign or/and webmaster. Especially to breeder's site and promotion. To more...
My name is yvonne and i live in england, i have an alysbury duck 3 years old called (squeak), he is a rescued duck and i have had him from just a few hours...
Hi Yvonne, Welcome to the group. Sorry to hear that Squeak's brother died. Hope he is doing well as a (temporarily?) only duck. I live in New Jersey and have a...
Hello Yvonne and Squeak and welcome to list! I rescue ducks and geese of all kinds but am particularly partial to Muscovies. I have two that are my permanent...
Terry, I saw that you rescue Muscovies.. Any advice to help keep those big scovie feet warm in the winter?? I noticed the feet on the Babies are getting pink. ...
... Hi Jen, Fortunately I don't have to worry about cold winters since I live in Southern California, and it rarely gets to even freezing here. I know that...
Hi Terry.. Thanx for the info anyway.. it may help actually. My ducks are actually wild... Well were doemsticated, and became wild. The yearlings were born in...

I realize this post was a while ago, but haven't had the time to go over them lately. We have these types of muscovies, the mama's were black and white and...

Hi there duck lovers. I've been raising muscovies for years. Currently I've been working on my blacks to get them all black. I have magpies, chocolates and...
Remember a few months ago when I was horrified to see my ducks swallow whole ping-pong-ball size green crab apples thinking they would choke ? Well now after a...
Thanks, Vicki Lee, for your post. What's the general size of the rabbit nesting boxes you use? It sounds as though they work for you through a variety of...
As I raise several sizes of rabbits, I have all sizes but the one I like the best for the muscovies are the ones I built for the Giant Chinchilla rabbit....
We moved to a place that has an unkept golden delicious apple tree growing near the house. I read that in order to bring it back to full production and get...
