CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to choose Muscovy ducklings? How to distinguish good and bad Muscovy ducklings?

1. How to choose Muscovy ducklings?

1. The eyes of high-quality Muscovy ducklings can open normally, while the eyes of poor-quality ducklings are covered with a layer of fog, or look like they are covered (the eyes are dull).

2. The belly buttons of high-quality Muscovy ducklings are relatively clean, while those of poor-quality Muscovy ducklings will have feces or eggshells on their belly buttons.

3. The beaks and limbs of high-quality Muscovy ducklings are rosy and shiny, while the beaks and limbs of poor-quality Muscovy ducklings are dry.

4. The paws of high-quality Muscovy ducklings are relatively moist and they are relatively powerful when standing up. Otherwise, they are ducklings of poor quality.

3. How to raise ducklings well?

Methods and steps.

Feeding, if we want to raise ducklings well, we need to feed them with feed, because it is difficult for ducklings to find food by themselves, we can only feed them with feed and let them grow up. Generally, they need to be fed three times a day. This is what we must do well.

Let it go swimming

We don't need to keep ducklings in captivity all the time. We need to let them out to swim. Ducks like to play in the water and catch some plankton, which we need. We must know that keeping them in captivity will cause them to grow very slowly.

Feed water

Normally we should not feed ducklings with feed, but rather feed them with water. In fact, water is also very important. We usually feed them with cold boiled water, so that the ducklings are less likely to have diarrhea after drinking water. We need to pay special attention to this.

Warm protection

We also need to keep the ducklings warm, because their immunity is still very poor. Only by keeping them warm can they grow well. Generally, we put some straw in the duck house to keep them warm.

Cleaning the Duck House

We must clean the ducklings' tongues regularly. This is very important because ducklings have poor immunity. If they are not cleaned, they will easily get sick. Generally, they need to be cleaned once a week.

Sick and taking medicine

It is very common for ducklings to get sick. It is rare that all the ducklings will survive. When ducklings get sick, we need to feed them medicine in time. Don't expect the ducklings to recover on their own. That is very difficult. This is what we need to know.

4. How to manage young broiler ducklings?

According to the existing conditions, ducklings generally take feed as their main food. From the time they are just hatched to the first ten days, it all depends on the weather. They need to be kept warm, [heat lamps or incubators] and have enough water and feed. They can use commercially available waterers and feeders to feed them. The ground can be paved with rice husks, wood husks, or soft grass, and replaced regularly. If conditions permit, ducklings that are a few days old can be put in fish ponds or rivers to play. However, they must be fed regularly two or three times a day, and they can eat as much as they want. They must be rushed to the duck shed at night to prevent them from getting lost or causing losses due to other reasons. They will have soft feet syndrome if they are on the water for a long time. It is generally better to have light at night, and as they grow older, they can be fed at regular intervals and in fixed quantities. Cherry Valley white meat ducks are generally ready for slaughter in fifty to sixty days.

5. How to build a greenhouse for raising ducklings?

You need to use insulation because the temperature requirements for raising ducklings are very high.

6. How to distinguish male and female laying ducklings?

1. Male ducks do not lay eggs, but female ducks do.

2. The feathers on the body of an adult drake are shiny and beautiful.

3. The male duck has a tuft of feathers sticking up at the tail, while the female duck has neat feathers at the tail.

4. There is a small hook-shaped protrusion in the cloaca of male ducks, but not in female ducks. The most scientific way is to slightly turn over the anus to look at the genitals (unskilled people may hurt the ducklings). It is very simple to distinguish between male and female semi-adult ducks. The male duck has green hair (very bright) on its head and a hoarse and soft call.

7. What are the differences between Muscovy ducklings and Mallard ducklings?

[Muscovy duck] Also known as knob-headed duck, foreign duck, musk duck, scientific name Cairna moschata, it is the same species but different genus as common domestic duck. Muscovy duck is mainly produced in Gutian, Fuzhou suburbs and Longhai, and is distributed in Fuqing, Putian, Jinjiang, Changtai, Longyan, Datian, Pucheng and other cities and counties. The main production area in northern Fujian is in Gutian County, where black Muscovy ducks are raised, and male ducks are transported to various places in eastern Fujian and northern Fujian to produce "half-Muscovy ducks". [Shutter duck] Shaoxing Muscovy duck has a unique feather color, with brown spots on the white-gray feathers, hence the name. Shaoxing Muscovy duck is one of my country's excellent egg-laying duck breeds, known as the "Pearl of Poultry". It has the characteristics of small size, fast growth, low feed and high egg production. Shaoyu Plain is the origin and breeding center of Shaoxing Muscovy duck, with unique advantages. Muscovy duck originated in the tropical regions of Central and South America, and our province has a long history of breeding.

8. What is the difference between water duck seedlings and landlubber seedlings?

1. Different appearance

The young of landlubber is relatively sturdy, with a large head with a reticulate corona, a short and thick neck, and an oblong body. The young of water duck is smaller, with no reticulate corona on its head, only pappus.

2. Different colors

The feathers of young landlubbers are generally pure black or pure white, bright and shiny, and the color of the duck eggs is grayish white. The feathers of young water ducks are brightly colored, including green, brown-red, purple-blue, etc., and the color of the duck eggs is green.

9. How to distinguish between egg-laying ducklings and mallard ducklings?

The distinction method is as follows

First, the difference between varieties: Muscovy ducks are mainly meat-producing ducks, while egg-laying ducks are mainly egg-laying ducks. Beijing White Duck and Cherry Valley Meat Duck are meat ducks, while Shaoxing Muscovy ducks are egg-laying ducks. Gaoyou Muscovy ducks are both egg- and meat-producing ducks.

Second, ducks have different body shapes. Meat ducks are large and compact, while egg-laying ducks are small and slender.

3. Meat ducks are fat and have more subcutaneous fat, while laying ducks are slightly thin and have less fat.

Fourth, the breeding cycle of meat ducks is short, and they are marketed in 40-100 days, while laying ducks are eliminated at least once a year.

10. I want to buy ducklings. Are ducklings sold in winter?

Ducklings are available all year round. The ducklings that are purchased can be dehumidified by using a heat lamp or a heat furnace. In summer, it is enough to keep warm for 7 days, and the insulation temperature is suitable at 30 degrees. In autumn and winter, the insulation time can be extended for a few days.
