Hi, I have a muscovy and hes 7months old and weighs 3kg. To this day we all thought we had a male, (by what the inernet sites were saying), untill 3 days ago the dogs were finding eggs in the back yard. I was so puzzled thinking how cause duckie is a boy, so before letting the dogs out this morning I went and checked hes sleeping spot and there was an egg. So it looks like I have a female but everyone still call him a him.lol

QUESTION: I only have one duckie i didnt know she could lay eggs without a male???
My duckie is best friends with the dogs (border collie & jack russel), . They sleep together, eat together, play together they do everything together. cause most of the time they sleep together, wood duckie be better off in her own sleeping pen? just because the dogs are eating her eggs?

Hi Duckieduck & [smilie=welcome.gif] , Ha! Maybe it wasn't the duck that was puzzled?, she always knew what sex she was. :-D
Seeing their all getting along so well, I think I'd be teaching the dogs to not eat the eggs
One method is to use a dummy egg filled with pepper.

To answer your other question, you don't need a drake for her to lay eggs, as you now know.... :)
