My Muscovy Rosie has taken over and or stolen the call ducks eggs. She is sitting on them and will not take no for an answer. Once she hatched out some Indian...
If you'd like to drive... I'm NW of Portland, OR near the coast. I have a nice batch of Muscovy fuzzies. Barred, Self-blue, Lavender or Cream, Blue and Black. ...
Hello; I need advice from folks who've maybe been there before... My muscovy hen is hatching her first brood today (since I have her; she'd had other broods at...
The duckling has to be kept at 90 degrees under a light. They need water and baby food (non medicated) We have had a few we had to put on a heating pad and...
You have nothing to lose by helping it for a few days. Jean mentioned eyedropper, but I use old syringes. I variously feed mixtures of egg yolk plain or with ...
It's so blasted hot here already it's between 90 adn 95 in the chicken house during the day (the chickens head to the barn where it's cooler) so I've got him...
Somebody already said heat....absolutely heat. It's amazing how strong birds are and those that you think are about to die will perk back up once they're ...

Sharon, if when you get home all the duckies are not out I would help the rest of them by breaking away the shells with long needle nose pliers. Scott...
Yeah, I'm suspicious of some type of neurologic something; but now that I've started helping him I feel like I need to follow it through. Since he seems to be...
I'm debating...I recently followed a thread on another poultry list about helping vs not helping and it got a little contentious so I don't want to open a big...
Hi everyone. I ordered 10 black Muscovies and they should be coming any day. We have a park down the road from us that has black Muscovies. It took me a...
Just so others can learn, I assume you kept the freshly hatched ducklings on something that was slippery for them such as a plastic or ceramic tub that doesnt...
Yeah, they were chicken chicks and not ducklings but it can happen with both. I kept them on towels for the first week and thought I was safe at that point. ...
We have been discussing this issue on a Turkey list I belong to. I'll go ahead and open that big can... LOL! A warning, though, this list is for Pet duck...
I found a shelf liner that works really nice. It is rubbery and woven (kinda looks like honeycomb) and can be washed between uses. I think it's rubbermaid, but...
I like the shelf liner and that reminds me of some of those rubber pads you place underneath throw rugs to keep them from sliding. Very similar in texture...
Well my tree sitting duck hatched all but three of her eggs and has a healthy batch of 11 ducklings. All of whom got down from the tree without injury or ...
I used to eat duck but see no need to do it. It is not only not good once you have ducks for pets (for me at least) it is a greasy and high fat food that is...
