moscovy ducks pecking tail feathers
« Thread Started on Aug 18, 2005, 12:27pm »

hi have a group of moscovey ducks about 4 weeks old
but they seem to be pulling out and pecking each others tails
never had this before any tips on stopping them or is the only solution to keep them apart quite a task as there are about 12 many thanks

hi
sounds like that they are in a small space and suffering from boredom
can you put them out on grass and they should stop.
if they are already out on grass i dont know, but its warm enough now that they could go out on grass at a week and still survive
we are putting ducklings out at 10 days old and they are loving it
hope this helps
