Thank you so much, my duck has been sick and I had to figure out how to get him to actually swallow the pill without spitting it out. I asled a friend who's raised ducks and has years of experience and she helped me a lot too. Now im just waiting to see if theres any improvement

Wow so cool I have ducks a female and a male but still no eggs !

Thanks for this video and the supportive words.

thanks for this advice man!

A random muscovee showed up at my house during this past winter. Wouldn't leave so we have a pet duck now. All this time we thought it was a male but yesterday I was cleaning the pool and giving it fresh water. Imagine my surprise when I noticed an egg sitting in the box in its cage. Blew my mind!

Isnt that the same as a dog harness?

Hey! Having trouble with one of my ducks labored breathing and trying to find answers. Do you happen to have a video of what her breathing looked like prior to medication?

My Muscovite wings are pointing up more than this one . Since she has been laying on the eggs? Is this part of being broody? Will it go back to normal?

Thank u needed this information!!!

Thank you!

Hey thank you for this video very informative! I enjoyed your tutorial. Thank you again .

1 video pls on the hacks and tricks to get the duck broody. farmers face this problem because the ducks usually didnt sit on eggs easily like the chickens do

shelf life of fertile egg suitable for hatching.? the day duck laid egg to the 1st day she became broody and sat on it. that time period of the egg remain fit from hatching.?

I only cut flight feathers on one wing, to keep it grounded. The broad feathers insure good cover when sitting.

How do you set up your water and feed system? My ducks always get their water messy so fast or knock over their food 🙃

The yoke to white ratio is much higher than in chickens.

We have a few ducks, males and females. I regularly find eggs in random places. Other than trying to coax them to a specific places to lay, how can I know if the eggs I do find are still edible? How long can the eggs lay around in nature before they are no longer good to eat?

Cast iron stomachs - I expect there are many things ducks can eat which will not hurt them. But if they eat metal they can get hardware disease. I'm not sure if it has to be a specific type of metal. But people could look up hardware disease and find out. You might have to add the word duck to your Google search. Also I have heard someone say when you see your duck opening and closing their mouth, sometimes they're just cleaning out their ears. So yeah, probably want to listen for breath sounds. Not quite sure how to do that with a duck. I did have one girl (Willow) a couple of years ago 2021 She was issuing signs of distress which I don't recall. And she was drooling also. And she usually slept on the top shelf and she couldn't get up there. I had to bring her into the porch. We poured some mineral oil down her throat with a turkey baster. Eventually she recovered. I don't know how. This girl had like four lives. After a couple of days she was eating. But yes last October 6th I carried her out to her pen in the backyard where we kept her during the day to keep her safe from the younger ducks who kept attacking her and left her with a limp. Around 7:00 in the morning and maybe two and a half hours later she died. She was 9 years old. I've had a small bunch of ducks. Right now I think I have seven. In the beginning I had four. I had two others which I sold. I had one that flew away and came back 14 months later. Honestly I thought she was dead. I have never had a duck leave my yard for more than two days. And she was gone 14 months and suddenly reappeared. But I previously counted her among the seven. And then I had one other which I gave away to a friend because he wouldn't stop trying to mate with me. And I had one house duck. So I think that's about 13 adult ducks which lived and died in my house and yard. And two of them made it to age 9. I know they can live longer. And I wish that my first duck, Snuggles, had lived longer. She did have one cataract. But aside from that... The black and white ducks seemed to get this hanging area between their legs. I read a bunch of different things and it seemed it might be ascites. I wasn't going to try to drain it. And they didn't seem to want to eat pumpkin. I forgot the other solutions. So a couple of them just sort of wound down and fell over and died. (Actually petunia was working on dying and Seven was still trying to mate her) and Naomi died when she was 3 years old and we never knew why. She just sat down and she didn't get up. A friend of mine did various interventions and got her back moving and several months later it happened again and she died. But these were never situations where the ducks were gasping as mentioned in the video. These were other things. Willow might have been gasping and choking. The others were not. But when Willow died she was not in one of those choking situations. She had just been going downhill for days and I knew she was going to die. the day before, I Sat in a chair and put her on my chest and cuddled her and cried a lot. And then she wanted to go so I let her. And the next day, she died. Also last summer when it was really hot, a friend of mine was texting me about his ducks. They were gasping and panting. I didn't have any good suggestions. He gave them water with various electrolytes and vitamins and things. And he put fans in front of them. I have never heard of anyone doing this. Then again it's never been this hot in this part of Florida. They all recovered. By the way, I like the way you sweetly told your duck to be quiet and she did. I have to go It's time for my ducks to go to bed like right now

I have a wild Muscovy duck made a nest in my front yard flower bed next to my front door she has eggs I been talking to her every day to get her used to us. I made her a house with 30 gallon storage box flipped it upside down & cut out 2 sides of it for her to see us coming in & out of my house & easy entrance & escape & gave her pine bedding. figured her babies be hatching around 2nd week of next month. we gave her a name & the rest of her family. she use to come over with the rest of the family they all met us. now she been staying all day & night & take about hour break in late afternoon. I tried different foods, but she rather go forage over at the pond across the street behind people's homes. kinda crazy she stay on her nest while I put up some wall art work around her figured I try the scare crow effect help keep pretors away from her & decorate her nurser Sary area & she still stay there as I do yard work with the machines running & when all the kids are playing out front it doesn't bother her for being a wild duck. I think she getting better at feeling safe & comfortable with us now she allow me to put my hand in her box to give her more bedding when she needs it. I think she might walk the babies over to the pond when they are ready to go live back over there. she a wild duck so I don't know much about ducks.

Hi my name is Karen I had to take eggs from a nest, because the mother duck was killed. These are just wild Muscovy ducks. Wondering if I would be able to release the babies ducklings I was able to hatch in an incubator.? There is a mother duck that comes by me to eat with her baby's. So my question is would she take them as her own? Just curious.

My male duck messes with her eggs and sometimes tries to lay on them...strange

I also have ideas for your next video theme: Muscovy Ducks Recipe! It's surprisingly very difficult to find ways to cook your muscovy, since it's quite a rare delicacies. The meat are tough if you grill them like a normal meat and the only way I found effective to cook them is by slow cooking them for 8 hours to make pulled meat for tacos and such.

I have trouble mixing my new muscovy pack (3-weeks old) and the old ones (5-months old). The old ones are 2 males and the new pack is 5 females. My 2 drakes kept pecking at the younger ones even though I have let them see/familiarize with each other (separated by a see-through bamboo gate) for more than a week now. How long should I wait before I merge them into one pen? Please make a video about that 🙏

Hello. What's the best way to handle a skittish young duck (four weeks)? Thanks!

Hello sir thanks for sharing I love Muscovy Duck

I have gotten good using the beak. Females have a more pronounced ridge from middle of top of the beak.

Thanks for the information. We just spotted this the other day on one of our ducks. Hoping we’re able to rest in time by cleaning, putting back in, and giving some antibiotics. Wish up luck

I also have muscovy duck, some of my young male duck started to die , i dont know the reason , can a mature male duck kill them

Wild ducks layed eggs in the yard one by one and leaves. Will the ducks sit on the eggs? How long does it take for them to hatch and leave?

Do i need to candle the eggs considering the female duck sitting on them

I love both!!

Ive got a bad feeling our 12 week old is a boy when the breed said he is pritty sure its a girl..keeping fingers crossded.

You just got another subscriber

The thing that helps you in particular out the most, is that your little ducko is quite will behaved. Or rather quite often handled? My ducks would rather succumb to whatever illness they have than sit between my legs. 😂 fantastic work, sir, truly!

Wish I had of known this, and had noticed when my duck got bad. I could have helped her sooner rather than have her put down.

so adorable when they start talking

My Muscovy duck has popped on some of her eggs will they hatch any remedy

My Muscovy duck started laying on August 31st and has been laying continuously from then to yesterday 10th September but has not layed today is everything ok

Ive been raising meat chickens for about 8-9 yrs now and once in awhile I d encounter somthing like this. Thanks for info. Keep it up. Enjoy 😉

IM LOVING THIS SERIES KEEP IT UP

What a sweet boy. I have a little female mallard that has pin feathers and can’t figure out the best way to wrap her. Hopefully I’ll get it right before it’s too late.

So I have a question specifically for eggs, what should the embryo look like during different stages? I’ve tried to look at infographics but can’t find much on Muscovy specifically. I’ve candled the eggs, one looks watery and clear and the rest look full but I can’t see blood vessels or veins.. they are about 23 days old and I’m not sure what I should be looking for, I don’t see movement either.. any tips?
