We have one pet muscovy duck that refused to stay with him mum and followed us to the house. We house raised him and he is so personable and happy to see us.

[@FableHillFarm]

That is a sweet story. My husband would NOT be happy if I tried to bring a duck in the house ha.

[@pamelajaye]

I had a house duck for 9 years. She was a good girl. I'm just really tired of diapers. Now I have five girls and a Drake in the backyard and six two month olds. Maybe two and a half. Some of them have got half their wings. I think their mother stole eggs from the other ducks because they are all different sizes which makes them hard to sex. One of them I'm sure is a drake, another one might be and the rest of them I'm pretty sure are female. The weirdest thing is that the last two hatched two days later. Their mother ignored them I gave them to another duck and eventually she took all of the ducklings away from their mother. But when they were first attached they were flipping over on their backs for a week or two. One of them you really had to go and turn her back over. I didn't think she was going to make it. And now she's two and a half months old. She doesn't flip over she hasn't for a very long time. Unless somebody comes and knocks her over. But I didn't think she was going to make it. Any duckling I have ever had before that kept flipping over, they died. I'm still trying to figure out where the black ducks came from. One of them is blue and white and the other four are sort of cream color. You would think they were white unless you put them next to the blue and white duck. Or either of their current mothers. Neither of which hatched them.

[@PathwaysHomestead]

We had Muscovies many years ago on our second homestead. We loved having Muscovy ducks! We made many a land payment selling ducklings.

[@FableHillFarm]

That’s awesome! What price were you able to sell ducklings for?

[@PathwaysHomestead]

@@FableHillFarm In 2001-2005 they sold at a poultry auction for $5-$8 each.

[@treykerr1868]

They are selling for $15-$40 each for a little bit older one around Navarro County area of Texas right now. I am adding them in the spring and hoping to have enough to enjoy plenty of eggs as well as some meat. I know I can drive a bit and find them cheaper or just buy very young ducklings. Even the young duckling is $15 plus right now.

[@Dave-if5qj]

[@Chloe_Kolohe808]

My drake was the best pet ever. I raised him from 2 weeks old until he passed away at 6.5 yrs old. He was spoiled rotten & he had a super interactive personality. He could “talk” to me, and he would follow me anywhere. I love him so much. He loved plain tofu and mealworms and Imitation crab ☺️

[@chargermopar]

I live in south Florida and these ducks have always been a part of my life. Amazingly adaptable and so quiet. The bad thing is that they like to eat banana trees.

[@FableHillFarm]

Whereabouts in FL? I am from Cape Coral. They are very interesting ducks. I did not know they eat banana trees.

[@indiedavecomix3882]

Another good reason...They're free! I lived in Jacksonville, Florida for a while and you could find them wandering around in almost any parking lot. And since they're an invasive species, I don't think there's any law that says you can't catch them and bring them home to the farm.

[@TheFrogfeeder]

I just received my first 3 whites yesterday, got 5 black ones coming in July… I hate waiting, but I also hate having all white birds. I went a little crazy with poultry and fowl this year, but this is my first full year at my new 20 acre farm, I got the space, so I got what I wanted. I also have a pair of Egyptian geese and 2 pairs of ruddy shelducks. I like your videos so far, came from the 5 reasons NOT to get Muscovy ducks ;)

[@ashleykorfffitness]

They live all in my apartment complex! I’ve lived in my local area my whole life & they’re nowhere else. I think someone must’ve had pet ones years ago & they got out or something. They’re super friendly even tho they’ve been “wild ish” for who knows how long…they wait for me to pull up in my parking spot at night & wag their tails! & when I hand signal for them to cross the road leaving the complex, they make eye contact with me & make sure I’m stopped, & they cross the road. One day a baby was waddling straight to my moving car & I stopped & the parents ushered him across the road. That same family recognizes me & runs up to me & tries to follow me home haha. It’s really incredible how smart they are🥹

[@effeojnedib7208]

Great video ! Thanks ! Can Muscovy's share a shed with meat rabbits ? Our rabbit shed is 8' x 8'. We don't use 100% of the space, so was thinking about adding some Muscovy's. The plan is to build a fully enclosed pen to protect them from eagles, hawks, foxes etc...plus keep them out of sight from the neighbors. The pen would connect to the shed to give them a water/windproof shelter option. Appx size: 16' x 8' x 6'6" high.

I have a lot of questions, I'll just read up on them but this is a great video, I'm subbing and that's for putting this one out..

you can set up a cheap run of 200sq ft in any configuration and they'll be very content. They are dead quiet and are truly good ducks.

[@jbid9999]

Thanks

[@mkshffr4936]

Everything I am reading about Muscovies looks great except the leanness of the meat. One of the huge advantages of ducks and geese over chickens and rabbits is the higher fat content for dietary reasons (especially for carnivore or semi-carnivores) and use in oil lamps. How much more lean are they compared to other breeds? Do they still provide more fat than chicken and rabbits?

[@Nannerchan]

This is going to be my life soon. I have been adopted. I live in Florida. They remind me of dogs.

[@TheAlchemistOfSouls]

Great video - wishing to add some mascovies to my tiny homestead. My question is : how low does the temperature go where you are as the frostbite part in particular caught my attention. I'm based in northern Europe and the temp can get to -20 Celsius in the dead of winter ❄️🥶. I have a greenhouse as an emergency shelter but was curious of your lowest temps so i can appreciate if they will do well in my temperate climate Thank you

[@FableHillFarm]

Hello there - thanks so much for watching! Where we are located, our lowest temperatures are typically around -10 Celsius, but we had some brutal weeks last winter where lows were in the -16 to -20 Celsius range and the birds made it through just fine, with my one drake getting a little frostbite on his carnuncles, which did heal very well. Do you have access to straw? Doing a deep litter method for them with straw will keep them remarkably warm despite freezing temperatures.

[@TheAlchemistOfSouls]

@@FableHillFarm Thanks for the reply, It seems we have very similar weather conditions, which gives me a lot of hope. Since I've added the question, we actually got 1 drake and 3 females and we love them. From day 1 they started sorting out slug invasion that was destroying most of the crops in the garden. The eggs are delicious and huge as well :D Thank you for the immense amount of information about Muscovy ducks - it's definitely my fav place on the internet for anything Muscovy-related. Stay safe and all the best.

[@Dave-if5qj]

I would have them just because There just really cool birds

[@stephenstanley79]

Great video, thanks for sharing. I was think of getting a few in the spring and process them when old enough instead of breeding them. I live near a lake and swamp what are the chances of them staying around and not leaving with other ducks. If i get chicks in spring and had a house for them how long would i keep them in the inclosure before letting them free range. thanks again. and do you just leave the inclosure open even at night and give them a high perch? It would be great to have them on there own besides a little grain at home.

[@FableHillFarm]

Hi there, Stephen, thank you for watching. I do leave my duck house open at night, but I contribute a lot of our lack of predation to our LGD at this point. I would say the only way to really know if Muscovies would stick around on your property is to give it a shot. I don't know that free ranging works for every situation, as sometimes the resources aren't sufficient to keep them or something else is more enticing to them elsewhere. I think you would be off to a good start by getting ducklings and handling them a LOT when they are young and really teaching them that food comes from you. I would keep them penned until they grow their adult feathers and then clip their wing feathers, then let them out during the day and try giving feed either morning or night only, which will encourage them to come back. The water sources near you may be too big of a temptation and you may not be able to keep them on your property. But all you can do is try...

[@kimjones7391]

Thank you

[@FableHillFarm]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@daringerin]

You're convincing me!! We may have to talk about this a little more. ;) Do you have to clip their wings to keep them from flying away?

[@FableHillFarm]

Ha! Do it! They are so great, we love having them, and they are a really sustainable option for meat. I only clip wings during start of breeding season if I'm going to have females separated with a particular drake as I will alternate free-ranging day to day between the breeding groups and I want the others that are penned up for the day to stay in their pen and not fly out. I have never had any issues with them leaving our property. We did have one hen who wandered pretty far down the road, but she was the only bird I had from an Amish family and I don't think they were used to getting fed up at the barn so they ranged a LOT farther to forage. I sold her and didn't have any further issues with that.

[@ducheau100]

My friend keeps a muscovy as a pet. An abandoned duckling came into his garage and he has kept her since. She spends her days in his garden. He has a small tub that she bathes in. She comes into his house at night to sleep. Is there any chance she can be released out into the wild again? He has had for her almost 6 months from now and states that he can't keep her forever. She is very sweet and loves meal worms. He has tried to bring other ducks around her but she is not receptive. He is hoping she will go off with a group of ducks but I don't see that happening. Another issue is that she has some angel wing, which can affect her flying.

I have been wanting to try this for years but haven't done so just yet. I don't personally use my Muscovy eggs for much cooking because we have chickens and I prefer to let my ducks hatch their own eggs, as ducklings are much more valuable to me than a duck egg in my belly. But I do enjoy using them for baking when I have extras in off season.

What about predators like cats foxes raccoons bobcats etc? In California we also have herons hawks ospreys. Will they know to avoid them?

[@FableHillFarm]

We did lose a couple babies to hawks our first year with our flock, but have lost none since we added our LGD. The mothers will attack predators to protect their young, including aerial ones. Chickens seem to be much easier prey for the types of predators you listed, so if you have both chickens and Muscovies, I think your Muscovies are fairly safe ha. I don't have bobcats here so I really can't comment on those, but I can say that our ducks are intelligent and seem to keep themselves out of harm's way.

Do they eat herb plants or veggies?…would I have to put a fence around those items? Are they good at protecting themselves from predators (like hawks, eagles, etc…?) …or do I need to get geese to help?

[@FableHillFarm]

Hi there. They can get into trouble in the garden, yes, though I would say overall they are less destructive than chickens. Adults are pretty adept at fighting off predators but it's not impossible for a larger predator such as an eagle, fox, raccoon, etc to kill an adult animal.

[@FableHillFarm]

Hi there. The best thing to do is keep them in an insulated house (if it's THAT cold - we're talking Fahrenheit right?) and bed it down deep with straw and shavings, and keep bedding it to keep it dry. I offer my birds warm/hot water on really cold days and put their water and feed close to their coop so they can go indoors and not have to travel far. I have found that some birds just aren't smart enough to survive winter without extreme frost bite damage - we cull those birds.

Hi there. I have not had any fly away, no, they are pretty content with their surroundings, but I am sure it would be a possibility if there were not enough resources. You can keep them with other ducks but you always want to consider your drake vs. hen ratio and if keeping a Muscovy drake and smaller breed hens, you may find he is too large/rough on them and need to separate. I personally don't keep any aggressive drakes, but I can say they do get very large, especially certain genetics.

I am not positive as I've never done them in a tractor environment but this is information from Metzer Farms' blog "If you have 5 ducks, that means they need a minimum of 16 square feet. If you have 10 ducks, they need 30 square feet. With 100 ducks, they need 300 square feet. From age 9-17 weeks, the ducks are now fully grown and will require a minimum of 3.5 square feet per bird and 20 square feet minimum." www.metzerfarms.com/blog/how-much-space-should-i-have-for-my-ducks.html#:~:text=If%20you%20have%205%20ducks,and%2020%20square%20feet%20minimum.

[@barbariska757]

About 8 Muscovies virtually cleared our yard of TICKS in 2 years! Predators easily kill them from @3pm-9am, if ducks are not brought into shelter. They come when called, if grain fed only at night. Protect hens, eggs, and chicks from snakes by keeping in separate, impenetrable pen. Also, it takes gloves and practice to pick up the Drakes, because they have powerful, sharp claws. That said, they are very sociable!

[@FableHillFarm]

You are right about those drakes claws, they are so powerful, even their wings will beat the snot out of you if they want to get away. It's definitely a skill to pick them up and hold all the right places so they can't flap about and scratch. Very personable, social animals. Thanks for watching! I love that they eliminated your ticks. Ticks are the WORST. We lived in upstate NY for a few years and the ticks there were really bad.

Why are all my ducklings female?

[@FableHillFarm]

Excellent luck? Ha. No, I’m joking. I’m sure there is a biological explanation. I know in chickens, if a hen feels there are too many roosters, she is more apt to hatch female offspring, from my understanding. What is your current drake to hen ratio?
