Several months ago there was some discussion as to how many ducks were necessary to keep a pond cleaned up and even the prospect of renting flocks to pond...
Scott,, Wasn't it you that was missing a female duck? And if so did she ever appear. Have you found eggs anywhere, or do you have babies yet? Sorry so many...
Hi Everyone, I have just discovered and joined the group. I am a totally besotted by Muscovy ducks. While I love all ducks and geese, I have a very soft spot...
I have a muscovy duck almost on her 30th day of sitting on eggs. She started with 13 eggs and now there are only six remaining. During the day she is allowed...
Thanks Pattie for the info on feeding and the Grass Carp fish. Wow, that fish looked like it could swallow an adult duck ! I do plan to check to see where the...

Hi there everybody... I've written a short duck story about a cute Muscovy Duck that I've named "Omega". I thought you all might enjoy it... Happy Mother's ...

I really don't know where you can get them full grown. I am also looking for a hen for my lone drake. I do know of a lady that lives way on the other end of...
I don't know about your area, but here in Southern California we often get adult Muscovies into our rescue/rehab operation. People dump them at public parks...
I live in Whitesburg, Ga. Quite a few of the ponds and lakes around here have muscovies at them. I check the shelters often, but there are never any ...
... Hi Renie, Since Muscovies are a non-native species, the wildlife rehab centers aren't supposed to release them back to the wild. Many here won't even take...
I already have three mallards....either two males and female or two females and a male...:) ... From: Terry Whatley To: muscovyduckgroup@yahoogroups.com Sent:...

Hi All, I received a call from a friend who lives in an apartment/condo complex that has lovely little ponds and streams throughout. She said "there's...
Yes, they are captive bred...bought them at the feed store. The females have the blue on their wings? If that is so, then I DO have two females and a male....
Terry- do you think that the Muscovy that you rescued would not have survived and done well in that environment? It sounds to me like a paradise for the duck...
Well...I still don't know what sex they are then...lol There are no green heads yet. However, if size has anything to do with it, two of them are larger than...
... I =know= it would not have .. the management abhors ducks of all kinds and merely tolerates the Mallards because they are protected. Any Pekins,...
Today, the Muscovy duck that I mentioned before---that ate one of her eggs a few weeks ago...well, she had her "second batch" hatch today. Such a pleasure to...
Hi Snow, It's hard to say what should be done. Mama ducks seem to "know" when an egg is not viable. Perhaps she knows these last ones aren't going to hatch....
Thanks, Terry. I think I'll wait until tonight to see if she does return, which I doubt. If she doesn't maybe I'll move them here where I can keep them warm....
Hello Snow, I am glad to hear about the new babies and yes they are very strong when first hatched.. Sometimes it takes a mom three days to bring her bunch...
Ok...were we too friendly with our muscovy?? Here is what he does: He picks fights with the dogs: sits next to their food dish, eats their food and when they...
It sure sounds like you are his "chosen one" <LOL>! I know it is not pleasant to be pecked, clawed, and otherwise harassed by a Muscovy drake, but it is kind...
Renie, That is to funny. If I were hubby I'd run.....LOL Pattie ... From: Renie To: muscovyduckgroup@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, May 12, 2003 7:18 PM ...
Here's a photo I took today of the newly hatched Muscovy ducklings that were born this morning. I found it amazing how they could swim just hours after being...
LOL! Oh does he need a female badly!! We've been there with our male Muscovy, Chuck. Same thing, chased us all over the yard. He always went for me and my...
