I have a muscovy duck, her name is Blanche and I love her. XOXO
I just found a muskovy duckling running down the middle median of the Florida toll road near fort Pierce. I'm trying to get an idea of how to take care of her till I can get her to a sanctuary. Cute little pipper.
WOW, it looks like these are as easy to raise as chickens. Are the eggs as good to eat as chickens? I would love to taste duck eggs like when I was a kid and my Grandmother bought them at the store, back in the 40's and 50's. Just this past week I have had some of my chickens laying their first eggs. They are tiny.
Thank you Allen for all your GREAT information and I LOVE your TV shows.
Hi Melissa, Muscovy Ducks do fly, but they are mainly a Woodland duck & are perfectly happy to waddle wherever they go.
Clip the flight feathers on one wing when they are young and that will break them of trying to fly, but also makes it more easier for a predator to catch and kill them. So you will need to pen them up for their own safety.
Muscovies take about 35 days to hatch.
Muskovy ducks are the smartest Ducks in the WORLD.. so smart hunters have to cheat to hunt them and do so by hunt them while they sleep in tree branches at night..
very sad these hunters are..
Muskovy is my favorite duck,full of personality!
Who told you that? There are many videos of people hunting muscovy in broad daylight.
Wow
Sad to see this guy's channel is gone... Hope he's doing well. Thanks for the video! Beautiful ducks
I have got used to them too - I love their soft little voices. They really are sweet and gentle birds. Adorable actually.
There is a couple of incorrect statements made in this video, one is the length of gestation of Muscovy eggs, it isn't 28 days, it's actually 35 days. Another Inaccuracy is that Humidity is good for Muscovy eggs because they will actually lost 1/3 of their initial weight due to evaporation and if not allowed to rid themselves of this extra moisture, will drown in the shell. Now the hen does know what she is doing so make her nest up off the ground & if they need moisture, she will do it herself.
Yes ok we know it takes more time for a Muscovy to hatch but for most domestic ducks it’s 28 days
such adorable animals
hi Mr smith i have a question i hope you can answer for me! i am all so breeding chickens,turkeys and Muscovy ducks over here in south Australia. i am having a go at incubating Muscovy duck eggs for the first time,after day 7 of incubation i candle them to see which eggs are fertile. my question is, the eggs that are not fertile are they safe to eat after being heated for 7 days in the incubator. (by the way great bloody show!) cheers mate thanks hope to here back from you soon Adrian.
Awesome! :) I live in a wee coastal town in New Zealand. Unfortunately I don't have a huge amount of land at the moment, but my partner and I are looking at getting a lifestyle block at some point. When we do, I would love to get a lot more than just Muscovys. But at the moment, I'm going to be perfectly happy just having a few of them for eggs and breeding :)
You should look into getting chickens a lot of towns allow them in small amounts 🙂
I love this ducks!
Can they change color? I had a white and green moscovy and then he went away for a bit and now I have a black moscovy
WE are new at this and we have a lot of questions. Can I have the 8 - chickens share the same coop by cutting a door on the side giving the 2-ducks there own nesting / sleeping area attached to the main coop? By the way we love the videos
thanks for the info .. very much
Need a little help, My duck was attacked by a dog last week, The soft tissue on the back of his hocks was missing... healing well.. But He still can't walk... If the tendons have been severed what's the best treatment for him? Not even swimming in his warm bath. He's been living inside since the attack... Dead happy, eating grooming etc... Not in any pain. But he cannot straighten his legs. If I assist straightening then he's is in obvious pain. (no obvious breaks or dislocation, no grinding etc) Any advice would be great!
I love ducks especially muscovy duck.
Also what are moscovy’s bred for?
I'm looking at getting some Muscovy ducks. I was told that they aren't fliers though.. that they are mainly ground birds... What is right; They do fly, or they don't fly?
Hi Allen I have a question, we have two muscovy ducks the female have a clutch of eggs under our tool shed, and since she does not come out from under the shed, we find that the male have his own set off 18 eggs under some srubs at the other end of the yard. Do both male and female lay eggs, and can the male hatch his own batch, should we take out the eggs the male is sitting on?
I raised a Muscovy duckling before!!!
I just found a muscovy baby duckling. A few sites say that i shouldn't raise this duckling alone. A neighbor today said it was about two days old. does any one have any advice on raising a two day old muscovy duckling?? i really want it to live
Good job bro
we have Muscovy ducks on our farm. The mothers have hatched several eggs but, sadly, they all died within 10 days. Their heads begin to droop and they gasp for air and then within 8 hours die. Have you experienced this?
Tony Hepp niacin deficiency?
Tony Hepp it can be several things, it can either be cold, poor weather, lack of water or a dirty stable causing illness, clean out their house and disinfect, make sure they have plenty of water and start feed for the first 2 weeks of their life, also the first 2 weeks they need heat, they have no feathers and can’t dry by themselves... your welcome to comment on my channel and I’ll be happy to answer any more questions regarding muscovies
Tony Hepp Are you for real.
I heard muscovy duck eggs take 35 days to hatch is that true?
I love it !!!!
Olá! Estou no BRASIL, Triângulo Mineiro. Gosto muito dos seus vídeos e assim como você, gosto muito das aves. Onde fica esse lugar? Parabéns pelos seus vídeos e pelas suas aves, obrigado...
Marcos Catalão Acho que é na cidade de Little Rock, estado de Arkansas, EUA
Gustavo Gama
Obrigado pela atenção! Esse lugar, essas aves e você são incríveis; grato por nos encantar...
can you post video of hatched ducklins. and is it necessary to have moist nets? my ducks stoped laying after transfering them to anothe farm. is this normal? what should i do to make them lay eggs again?
You don't need to wet the nest. If the duck has access to some water, she will know what to do with the humidity. When they can bath in it, they will dry off as much as they need to for the eggs. Time is the best for them to lay again. Is it possible they are hiding the eggs? Some of mine took up to 4 months to settle in after a move.
I had 3 female and 1 male last season. We decided to keep 10 more females i need to know if the male to female ratio is the same as chickens about 10 to 1 or do i need to keep more drakes
you'll need a cpl of males!
Pam Garon I have the same words about Muscovies male to female.
Don't Muscovy eggs take 35 days to hatch?
KristenGibson_CanadianGirl yes, 35 in machine and upto 45 in nature.
The guy making the video was clearly new to muscovies
KristenGibson_CanadianGirl yes
The guy in the video is using Muscovies to hatch other waterfowl breeds, which don’t take quite as long.
how did it go, mine turned on me as it got older and would attack my toes!
love you 😍 and the ducks 🦆 muscov ducks are my favorite 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
price for each moscovy in your country
you're video is really good how do you tell the difference between a boy and a girl
size - drakes are nearly 2xs larger
Hi, I am from Cyprus and I got around 15 Muscovy ducks. the problem is they are fling... I got them in the city and I am afraid of some one will catch them. they re fling top of buildings. what can I do about it... Also is it possible to they will leave? or fly away to find new homes for their self?
you need to clip one wing. with scissors. you trim off the flight feathers about half way, so the bird cannot fly. make sure the feathers are mature (not blood feathers). you can find instruction if you search under parrot keeping websites. parrot owners clip their bird's wings.
oke than thanks...
I just recently went to a store and looked for baby muscovy, and the girl showed me some white ducks and said those were asian musccovy. I went ahead and bought two even though I have never heard of asian muscovy. I'm wondering if because they are white, so she called them asian?
can you do a mallard video plz

If you are interested in getting some ducks let me know and I can hook you up and the advice on how to raise them is free!
Sir Jaxx May I have more information about raised Muscovies ducks? To me at email: ckvue9@gmail.com. Appreciated.
If anyone you know would like to own Muscovy Ducks, we have some that we will give to anyone who will take good care of them. We are in the Palm Beaches, Florida. Please respond to this comment for further information.
@@MeralsPalmBeaches Wow! Talk about a Blast from the past. 10 Yrs. ago? Although my memories of my Ducks do bring smiles to my face. But sadly, I no longer own any ducks and haven't for years but if you have an excess number of ducks, I found Facebook marketplace to be valuable in finding buyers. Good Luck in your efforts.
awful how the american standard asks for so much curuncle! in the rest of the world they have much less and therefore not only do they look much nicer but they also see much better! poor things!
Muy hermosos sus patos mudos blancos me gustaria tener una pareja. Gracias
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
i have a Muscovy Duck, well i have two their names are d
Goood
A sad way to keep muscovies, it any duck at all, they should go free, just lock them in at night, also Muscovy hatch after 35 days on machine and 35-40 days when hatching outside.
You can also put 10 goose eggs under,
Not only 6...
Why do you clip both wings? If you clip one they can’t fly, if you clip both, they fly bad, but will still fly, also you will have to clip the feathers twice a year, as they shift feathers...
Check my channel to see how you can raise muscovies and still let them live free...
Preciosas
If anyone on this page is interested in having Muscovy Ducks as a pet, please reply to this comment. We are located in the Palm Beaches, Florida.
intresting
Love Muscovies :D, but way to much curuncling going on, my boys have just as much as those females, the girls look much cuter with less!
SEEN VIDEO
I keep muscovy ducks mine don't fly..ever...don't clip their wings or anything ..don't know why had bought and bred them they just rather sit around, I don't even know if they know how to fly once my female flew as much as a chicken over a gate
My male is far too old and fat to fly now anyway xD
Ohh is it to do if how wild their genes are? (= thanx I was curious
no I could never! I just overfeed them ..I don't eat ducks xD besides they are my big cuddly pets.why do you ask? xD
They too cuddly and fluffy huffy pffty xD ever bite I'd think of big clumsy Rex
North or relaid ..no I don't eat ducks...or cows..or horses or pgs xD
hehe well I eat fish
nice video, but the one he is holding up, is a male
SI MA ABBASTANZA GIOVANE
jonatan lossius no shes female put her next to a male then you'd notice , look at the male in the background, males are massive, all his females have a lot of knobblyness and are alike do to breeding , usually they have way less knobbles (= The most it could be a young male, males sometimes fight
jonatan lossius we watch the video and watch how the big oversized male is clearly bigger. This particular mutation of Muscovy duck I noticed has big caruncles. Normally Muscovy duck females can have a little less caruncles. A large Muscovy duck would be hard for him to handle but he can do it. But I can see why you thought it was a male
The males have a weired Mohawk
And Supper is a male but he id
Can anyone here say 'Invasive Species'?
Let me try... “all domesticated agricultural plants and animals.” Damn. Came out all wrong. Humans and their practice of moving creatures about the globe are a part of nature too, one that can be managed responsibly, hence his wing clipping to keep his ladies home. In most places, a local fox or two will more than make up for some escapees. The earthworms in your backyard aren’t truly native either. Check out Michael Pollan’s book Second Nature for an interesting perspective.
but they taste sooo good when they come out of the smoker!
how come walter has not got kiled yet lol he is so funny i love him im naming one of my white indian runner ducks that is a male walter lol......
SUPER SUPER VIDEO,but the one he is holding up, is a MALE 😉😊
