we had a pair of muscovies, the drake used to fly only about 6ft up but he was amazing to watch, quite powerful. he couldnt go far though as he was quite heavy. they didnt wander far, he was free range with the geese but the fox took him. :'(

love my ducks :) they are slowly coming round, even the older lady has decided I am alright. They are still penned as I am undecided whether to wing clip or not.

anyway, I am guessing flubenvet for worming? They don't eat alot of pellets (compared to poultry) and as they are on growers and then probably breeders over the winter, I'll be using the premix. So do I continue the worming beyond the 7 days given they are heavier and eat less pellets? (its such a rubbish way to worm anything its surprising flubendazole resistance isn't rife tbh)
