Hi...I live in South Texas and have had 3 muscovies- wild- since last summer. There were four and one went off to another pond and it never came back to join...
Hi She will lay them and then finally start sitting. Are there Male ones at the pond? They will sit on eggs that are unfertilized also as you might know. They...
I assume the reason you want to move here is so the horse wont step on her nest. I have never been successful in moving a nest unless it was in an enclosed...
Our first hatch was in the old duck area under my deck which was a cellar that was like a regular room I was really afraid that I was going to have an issue...
Thanks Jean and Scott for your thoughts. With the horse being a mini- anything the duck can fit into so can the horse's head! He is a nosey rascal. I worry...
Hopefully they are fertilized and will hatch. She will finally sit on the nest all the time when she has all the eggs. She then will need food and water...
Hi April, I have been going through the same thing with one of our hens. She insisted on having her nest in the middle of our goat pen, I tried moving her...
yes, she made a nest in the corner of his stall- I thought about just closing the barn where she couldn't get out and building her a nest (the current one is...
Thank you Lisa- So even though you tried moving it, she still went back to the old nest? I have thought about seeing if I could borrow an incubator and...
I would move the nest. If she wants to set, she will set in a different place. The horse stall is unsafe, even if it is a mini horse. If she abandons the nest,...
we put our Goldie Locks in a dog igloo--its small enough to keep your horse out-we had her in the DUCK HUT-just an enclosure with a door and roof so we could...
I forgot earlier to remind that while laying eggs your duck needs the "laying" formula for chickens so that she is getting the extra calcium to form her...
Yes, she would ever so carefully move each egg right back to the goat pen, which caused even more to get broken in the process. I feel bad taking them also,...

I would reply but I don't know! I am new myself! These folks really know their ducks, so I am sure one of them will have a good answer as soon as they get to...
Jennifer; There's a Swap in New Ulm this Sunday. I might have some Blacks and Silver to sell. Rod ... From: Jennifer To: muscovyduckgroup@yahoogroups.com ...
Try this website. They have lots of good info on the different colors and genetics, also on feeding the proper feed. There is also an area for people selling. ...
Thanks Rhoni... These are the first ducks I have dealt with other than feeding them at the park . I only keep whole grain bread, so they generally get the ends...
I didn't know there were any swaps in MN. How do you find out about them? I see swaps in WI all the time. I won't be able to make it to New Ulm. Keep me...
