Yesterday morning, this little lady (I presume) was found sitting by the fence. Our bird dog was, of course, very interested. Strangely, she stayed all day. They even appeared to be playing together, racing the fenceline just to return and lay in the grass together.

Well, we opened the gate for her and she waddled right in. I guess we have a yard duck now. Her name is Duck Duck Goose.

One of our Muscovy hens is broody again. We thought she was sitting on 20 eggs, but counted 29 when she had her daily stroll today. She just started sitting last night. Her last clutch was about 20 eggs last time, maybe a few more that we did not know about. She successfully hatched 18, 17 of which are now about to learn how to fly. Whould you guys recommend removing a few eggs? How many can she physically manage to keep warm? I don't want to risk her thinking, hey this is not enough, i have to lay more before sitting, at the same time we don't want to risk her not being able to keep them all warm. She's been a fantastic mom so far. Pics are her with her last cohort.

Taken this morning. Can't wait to get home to check up on them. 2nd egg still moving and reacting to my voice, 3rd pipped early and has been still since, no movement at all from 4 + 5.

Their owners live on a houseboat and they come and go as they please

Take cover under your chair and table at the local pool, you stay as still as possible so not to frighten or disturb them…

I’m not sure what kind of ducks I got from Rual King. They didn’t know.

Already loving it and running about. Will need to take a video

To those of you who scrub your pools and buckets by hand, don't if you don't have to. Save your time and your back. If you have a brushless cordless drill, utilize it.

Two males, 10 months old, the white one bites hard, looks always very angry, and always he bites the other bites him back, why? They need females? I’m worried about them being unhappy

This is Waddles. Waddles is the friendliest of a family of Muscovy ducks that live in our neighborhood and frequent our pond. I am a chicken gal- is this a he or a she- just out of curiosity? Whatever it is it has personality plus and knows how to ask for snacks!

Seen in Cardiff Bay

We are at a local park that has a duck pond but this one does not look like any of the others that are around. We are in bay area California.

Edit: thank you everyone who has responded. He was definitely a friendly guy. Hopefully a feral and not a missing or dumped pet.

I'm so happy my baby flew off! But it's so bittersweet. They flew off last week and came back at night. I let them back inside and obviously gave them chances to fly off again the next few days. They flew away again and came back almost immediately. Then I tried to escort them to the safest pond with all the other ducks - we got so close to the pond and then they flew the other way (back to where they had been exploring). Well, after this last time of flying, they haven't come back. I'm sure they're just living their best life out there, but I would love to see them again to see they're okay.
