Now, whilst I am used to raising runners, I have never raised muscovies before. I have a single duckling (hatched by a broody Muscovy) from some eggs kindly given to me.
Mum at around 5 weeks has decided that baby is OK on her own and mum now prefers the company of the adult Muscovies. My concern is this youngster seems a little slow in developing, both size and feathering, still mostly down just now, is this normal for Muscovies??? Runners by now are fully feathered and almost fully grown! Thanks for your help!
