Welcome to Moat Cottage Homesteading, I'm Elissa and here at Moat Cottage, we raise and grow Muscovy Ducks and Chickens, process some of our own free range meat, organic vegetables and fruit.
We grow all of our herbs for both eating and medicinal purposes as well as hunt, fish and forage.
We preserve our produce for the year ahead by canning, dehydrating and freezing and we work on being prepared for emergency situations.
Good health and natural living has always been a high priority for our family and despite this two family members are living with auto immune diseases, myself included.
We focus on what we can do, when we can do it, stay positive and so I make these videos for you, on my best days.
Happy backyard homesteading

The Gameplay Aviator she really is
Ducks are a lot of fun. I miss mine a lot.
Blobbert Mcblob they are a heap of fun and entertainment. 😊
We have an abundance of Muscovy Ducks here in south Florida.. 🦆
103.5 WSHE She’s only Rock and Roll Miami Florida yes they can become a problem in some places, they could harvest some.
sounds like you got a delicious problem on in your hands. a casting net will scoop up those real quick for you.
I raised 2 muscovy ducks from birth .. my drake imprinted on me and is now a year old and still thinks I'm his mommy .. the little girl imprinted on my drake ( who did a good job of raising the little girl ) she is 2 months old and she hates me .its so funny because my drake follows me everywhere and the little girl follows him every where so she always has to be around me anyways lol .. I hope as she gets older she won't be afraid of me like she is now ... even the wild muscovies down at the pond aren't afraid of me and one of the moma ducks even let's me around her babies and her babies love me and recognize me in a crowd and come straight up to me for their treats . And I can't get my own little muscovy to come up to me even when I have treats lol .. just goes to show that each muscovy had their own unique personalities and their own individual thoughts, likes and dislikes. Just like humans .
I have 6 house pet Muscovy ducks (4 girls, 2 drakes. Ranging from 8 days old to 1 year old) and they love watching this video!
We watch it at least once a week and they all sit around the iPad or Tv, in awe. ❤️
Wow ❤❤sweet
do the drakes get aggressive with each other?
Very entertaining i could watch ducks do nothing for a LONG time. :3
Sammyconray hi Sammyconray, I hear you and thankfully to be a good duck owner, you have to spend time watching your ducks - every day 🎉😄🦆
i miss my mucovy ducks when they were baby
They grow so fast
The colour is so unique. And the ducklings are cute too. ❤❤
Here in Assam, only black & white , are found.
I’ve got one Muscovy and 2 male and 1 female Pekins. They all get along but she’s different and knows it. She just laid a large clutch of eggs and has been a brooding mama. I’m hopeful to see some babies mid august come out of the floating house I’ve made for them 🙏🏼
Nice
Thanks for this video. I had 9 tiny ducklings (and momma) show up at my house about a month ago after I had been feeding momma regularly since the previous winter. I was so confused when a week later these much larger (but still smaller than momma) ducks started coming to my front porch! Can't believe they grow so fast!
(For some reason I’m only seeing this now) it is amazing how fast they grow so it’s no wonder you were confused. 😀
Thanks Elissa that was great to watch
Hi Mike Nunn thanks for stopping by and I am glad you enjoyed the ducks. Thanks 🦆
Thanks
Welcome
congrats
Thank you so much 🐥🐥
There’s so many here in south Florida ! They live by the canal/ lakes and hang out at the gas stations , I love them 😍
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
Welcome
Your ducks seem so calm and docile.
We spend a heap of time together and I guess am calm with them.
I have two little muscovys and they are going to be house pets they are amazing and may your ducks have a wonderful life
Congratulations, you have chosen your house pets well, they are lovely pets. 😊
Ooooo the mother looks sweet though lmao
Venus Abesamis she is very sweet 😊
Moat Cottage Homesteading
Btw she looks like my male Muscovy duck that died, sadly another fact about my male Muscovy duck that died (Actually named Lotto) is that he was tamed, when I mean tamed, u know how the Pekin duck imprints on someone, right? He was like that, and just his life to be wasted away 😭😭😭😭
Venus Abesamis it’s really sad when we lose our favourite birds, I’m sorry you didn’t get more time with your boy.
Moat Cottage Homesteading
Thx, I still remember him in my heart, In fact when I heard from my dad that he died I was crying
Very inspiring😍😍
G'day Elissa, very nice love watching ducks. Thank you and God bless you.
InYa Yard Homestead g’day Josh, I love watching the ducks too, I find them relaxing, so it’s great to be able to share. Many blessings to you and your family 😊
So cute and peaceful.
Hello Jean Woodall yes I love spending time with them every day for a relaxing time out, so I’m glad I could share that with you 😊
Elissa, you know I love watching the ducks. It's relaxing but great fun, too. I'm glad you got so many boys. They'll help keep you from eating the meal-worms & crickets! Regardless of your new found penchant for insects, you are such a dear. I'm proud to call you my friend. Blessings to you & your family!🦉
Hello HootOwl Holler, it’s always so lovely to see you, both here and over at Alaska Prepper.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this video and it was a good male to female ratio as far as the freezer goes. We always get many more males than females, I’m not sure why, but it certainly works for us.
Now I just need it to cool down enough to process.
The good thing about the bugs is you don’t get attached to them 😂
Many blessings to you my friend Hoot 🦉 😊
thats awsome vedio thank you .....
Nice cage
Yes Danu, it is a very useful addition to the coop area.
They're TOO CUTE TO BE TRUE!!
Stormylicious Princeso I totally agree, they are very cute
Nice video. Consider adding headers to indicate the days/ weeks of age. Thank you.
Hi 9mm1968, hi I will definitely be doing that in my next duckling and chicken growing videos. Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated 🐣
1:59 That dude was like: "Lol, what are those?"
Lol, he is just making sure they’re all behaving and not cramping his style.
🤣🤣
I love ducks - New friend Ruthie
Pople BackyardFarm hello Ruthie and welcome to Moat Cottage, ducks are so awesome aren’t they 😀🦆
So cute - mum is very pretty. I have 3 girls and one boy - almost had chicks but someone squirrelled away too many and I didn't notice the extras, sadly none got past halfway. Love them - dad is like your mum (and aunty I'm guessing). Lovely video, thank you.
I hope you have better luck next time and soon enough you will have ducklings eating you out of house and home.
So far I have 3 duck eggs under a broody bantam chicken (can't wait to see what happens when her babies go in the water!) and another duck has been squirrelling with lots of her down - I'm keeping my fingers crossed! And thank you for the kind comment!
Wow very nice duckling baby's ❤❤
They are so cute 🐥
We have some in my neighborhood. I usted to feed them 50 lbs of cracked corn every 8 or 9 days. They multiplied very fast got to be 30 adults and babies. My neighbors complaint and i got a really nasty letter from the leasing office. Once in a while I feed them but can't lose my home for feeding the ducks.
I have 4 muscovy ducks as pets in my garden.One male and 3 females.They are so cute and i will not make them food(only eggs for food) :)
I like
Great video. Beautiful ducks
Maly Made and family thank you, I am pleased you enjoyed it 😊
Thank you, I want to have them at home next month , And I learn from your video, they're quite cute when little 😊
Budiyo Basta they are very cute when little and I wish you all the best with getting your new Muscovies in the near future, very exciting 😊
Beautiful beautiful beautiful my son was in awe of how cute they are he wants ducklings now 🥰😘🥰 I do too, merry Christmas 🎄🎁
caz marsh hello Caz and Son, they are super cute but remember they also muck up the water really quickly too, so take that into account, but if you are fine with that, then I definitely recommend them.
I hope you and your family had a very merry Christmas and that the new year is going well. 🦆😊
That was awesome !!!
Thank you !
G’day Truth Hurtz I’m glad you enjoyed the ducks 😊
👍👍👍
Thanks
My Muscovies love sweet leaf. A 4m scrub python got one last month though. The one night I didn’t them away.
I am so sorry for your loss Nicole.
Woah that’s what 2 months old Muscovy ducks look like? That’s great!!
Theres 4 Muscovy ducklings that are about 25 days old, her mom unfortunately passed away 3 days ago and now they’re on their own in my neighborhood lake
My mom, me and another neighbor lady have been keeping a watch throughout the day on them since there’s a mean duck that has tried drowning them, cornered one and started pecking her and the same night the mom died he got a hold of one and basically shredded him to pieces, which was sad.
We have been feeding them duck feed pellets mixed with some cracked corn every day, hopefully they all make it another month so they can get to a size that they aren’t vulnerable to the mean duck anymore and their mom’s care and dedication don’t go to waste
I have 25 ducklings at the moment
Congrats to you too, they must be getting big by now.
What fun!! Thanks for sharing. :-D
Hello Sunny Belisle You are so welcome, I am glad you enjoyed the ducks 🦆
Thanks for the video! I saved a baby Muscovy duck. I think he's about one to two weeks old. I took him to my house. He’s so cute!!!! I live in Florida and I want to take care of him. I have a nice backyard and everything for a duck's life. ❤️❤️Can you help me, please? My question is: what does he eat??? I will be very grateful for your help.
my muscovy ducklings are starting to hatch right now
Mikayla Appleton oh my goodness, how exciting! How many did you end up getting? 🐣
Такие милые они
Сеньер Муссолини они очень милые. Спасибо за просмотр 😊👋🏽 🦆

wu xiao thanks for watching
thanks for u r video
dagtom 71 you are so welcome 👋🏽 🦆
This video is really helpful..
Hello Bimal Kumbhar I’m glad this video was helpful to you 😊
@@MoatCottage thanks ma'am..
What vegetables and fruits can they eat ..also what feed do you feed them?
The ducklings and Mother are fed a Duckling starter mix ( not the one for chickens because that has too much medicine for ducks and dont let laying birds get the starter mix) they have access to fresh greens including kale, silverbeet, spinach, snow pea leaves and grasses (as well as other produce from the veggie garden), bugs, flies and worms, so there is a wide variety of food around for them and when they are over 8 weeks, I feed them a mix of fermented grains instead of the starter mix.
czcams.com/video/WQ4sNRPEpRE/video.html
My Ducks also enjoy a cold water melon treat in Summer.
I sometimes give my ducks tiny fish called "guppy" is it ok for them to eat them?
Is the background music from a particular song?
It’s music from CZcams but I can’t remember what it is.
Hi I have 3 Muscovy ducks sitting on eggs
What is the favourite vegetables for Muscovy 🦆 please
Silverbeet, kale, perpetual spinach, broccoli and cauliflower leaves are favorites of my muscovies. They prefer the green varieties of the mentioned and will eat them before the red or purple varieties. They also enjoy the occasional watermelon treat in summer.
Gorgeous Elissa! They grow so quickly. What do you do with them all?
Hi Andie J we keep some, occasionally sell some and some are food for our family and feathers for our bedding.
I know this is an old video so I might not get a response .. This is so beautiful ! I have 2 ducks one male and one female and my female has been laying on eggs and they are about to hatch :) is it too cold for them to be outside with the mother ? And will the drake try and hurt them? I have squirrels and javelina even mice come in my yard and hang out with him and he’s never attacked but I’m not sure how he’s react to babies and I don’t want any chances of something going wrong .
Hello, I have just found your channel. I have two muscovy hens. Loved your duck family; such beautiful plumage and so calm. Are these Show Ducks?
How can I make my ducks lay early. They are over a year old and have been mating but no eggs
Hi Juliet, this video may help you with your ducks czcams.com/video/WaScJ9eICIc/video.html
Where does it say how old they are at each stage?
At what age do you butcher them and how much meat do you get per bird? Can they be raised without feed?
Hello there, may I know what to feed them right after they hatch? Should I feed them on day 1?
Hi James, I feed duck starter for the first 8 weeks and some greens 🥬
This video is more in-depth
czcams.com/video/XvZJ9jcuUXo/video.html
@@MoatCottage alright thank you!
3:26 what are they eating? what's it called?
Hey @jbiliHacker it’s Duck and Goose Starter amzn.to/2WXGpYg
thanks for the fast reply! they really do love ! 😆@@MoatCottage
So cute! Have considered getting them for many years...because I hear they eat the ticks and mosquitoes in the garden. Are they hardy in winter? We can get as low as 5 degrees sometimes in winter, but 15 degrees more so on coldest nights in the Upper South of USA. ALSO, that netting at 5:25 is great. It looks like it doesn't tangle! I net my smaller fruit trees, but still struggle with squirrels. Any advice? THANK YOU!
Fran Looving
Hello Fran, Muscovy ducks are fabulous in the garden as far as pest control goes.
We get down to -6C, that’s 21F and they don’t mind at all, they have twice as many feathers as chickens, but I can’t say how they go with extreme cold.
The netting I am using for my garden, was second hand from a vineyard, so it’s super thick and good quality, industrial strength, so it doesn’t tangle and is fairly easy to put on and off when needed
We don’t have squirrels in Australia, so I’m not sure how they behave.
😊
@@MoatCottage Thank you. I'll look into that netting.
@@MoatCottage I am amazed that you get down to 21F in Australia and even more amazed that you don't have any squirrels lol
RanochVTX 😂 yes, we get other cool animals like platypus, echidna, wombats and the bilby, oh and of course Kangaroos and Koalas (which sound terrifying when they are calling a mate)
😃
Hi did you cut their wings so they wouldn't fly away?
Check out the video I made on cutting a ducks wing and it will show you exactly how its done.
Moat Cottage Homesteading
My ducks wing was cut before he died :(
Where do you find pools like that?
Hello.
can I ask if some eggs would still hatch if they were half covered by there mum and it was a warm day.
would they still hatch?
Hey Jacob, that would really depend how long they were uncovered and if you mean warm day UK or warm day Australia 😂
@@MoatCottage its warm day Australia. it may have been like that for a couple of hours
Can you please tell me what do i feed muskofy ducks from day 1 to day 90 and minerals and all that because i want to get ducks but all people warned me about it,and how to take cake about them
i am quite confuse because your muscovies has grown so much in only two months wheras mine took atleast 3 months to look like your muscovies,pls update
I bought today 4 pairs .. waiting for egging and hatch .. how many months needed to egging.. I really inspired your Vedio maam . I’m from India and don’t have colors like to you have grey. Here only white , black and white.. so relaxing watching your vdeo god bless your and family
Hello Shabana Ashraf how wonderful, congratulations on your new Muscovies. The females mature at around 28 weeks and the males at 29 weeks, so expect to start finding eggs around then.
Enjoy your beautiful Muscovy ducks 😀
What feed did u gave them?
They look healthy... Good.
Plz tell me feed which u gave. Thnx.
Plz telltell me the feed which u gave?
👋🏽 Hello, I feed my baby ducklings a starter mix especially for ducks and geese (not the one for chickens because there is too much medication in that for ducks)
They also have access to fresh greens 🥬 including kale, silverbeet and grasses, bugs 🐛 , flies, 🦟 and worms, so there is a wide variety of food around for them and when they want there is also a mix of fermented grains but Muscovies like a lot of greens 🥬

Btw I have a question
Why do my Muscovy ducks keep dying from fever?
The Gameplay Aviator there could be many reasons for illness, one being living conditions could have mould.
But I don’t know your specifics or your location in the world.
If you have problem with your ducks dying, I’d go to the vet to find out why and work on fixing the issue.
When a duck goes broody and yo want ducklings should you move her somewhere else?. sorry im new to ducks
Ma'am, how fast it takes for Muscovy duck to reach its maximum weight? Thank you.. 😊
Hi Elissa, what are you feeding them in the little pool? I just rescued 7 of them and am feeding them duck food, meal worms, grass, pond minnows, and earthworms. Would love to give them more greens besides grass.
Hi savannah, good on you for rescuing Seven ducks.
My pool was filled with home grown Silverbeet leaves (Chard). I put the leaves in the water so they stay fresh while they are being consumed, especially in the hot Summer. They also like kale, broccoli and cauliflower leaves (if you happen to garden without chemicals or buy organic chemical free produce) the devour the green varieties before they start on the red and purple varieties. They also enjoy the occasional watermelon treat during Summer.
@@MoatCottage Thank you so much for these ideas! My sweet ducks are flourishing and are enjoying eachother! Will definitely introduce these veggies and watermelon to them soon!
@@Dreamsofahomesickalien I am so please your ducks are doing so well, great job Savannah!
Hi there! I have another question. So both our female Muscovy are now sitting on their nests. It’s been about a 2 Saturday’s. I’m feeling nervous about this. One of them will be a first time mom and the other has had chicks before but not with us. This is our first time raising ducks and I’m wondering if there is a check list of what I need to do to prepare for so many chicks. Do the females need separate spaces to hatch and eat, does the drake need to be out of the picture? Do they eat the babies? I’m in Boise Idaho USA it’s early Spring and can get a bit chilly at nigh. Do they need a warming light? A brooder? Any helpful tips from you would help this first time human chick momma. Thank you so much! Melanie
What feed will you give it to them ma'am?
I love muscovie ducks,
Especially cooked in curry.
(Lol)
I was sure I have already responded to this - delicious!

Hello how do I no if my miscovie duck is broody for sure
Hi EGG BOY EGGS she will puff up and be louder than normal, like she is cranky. She will also sit on her nest most of the day.
Moat Cottage Homesteading ok thanks I think mine is broody duckling soon
EGG BOY EGGS so exciting- good luck 🥚🥚🥚
Moat Cottage Homesteading thanks
In how many days the duck come midden stage
I am not sure what you are wanting to know......
How old do they need to be to butcher?
Hi Hlubtshaj Lee, I answered your question in my latest Duck Q&A video czcams.com/video/G38CrquG4XQ/video.html
You must be Chinese 😆
i recently saved an abandoned one the other day is it normal for it to want to sleep in my hand all day and not eat?
I think it would be fine I have baby moscovy ducks of my own and they don't eat much

Muscovy duck is the type of duck…
how would I know the ducks gender?
czcams.com/video/Z86kQoSYk_o/video.html
Hi Elissa, Can you tell me if you normally separate the mama from the rest of the flock once she's gone broody in addition to once the chicks have hatched? Also, at what age are the ducklings ready to leave mama to be re-homed/sold? Thanks so much!
Hello Rewilding Heart, it depends, but usually if a Mumma duck goes broody on her eggs (or who ever laid them in her nest) I leave her until they hatch, so as not to upset her.
But only if it is safe for her and the eggs.
I collect (egg search for) eggs in unsuitable locations, so I don’t have a duck sitting on a heap of eggs in an unsuitable location.
We have raven steal eggs and other predators that will get babies.
I have suitable cage, in the night time coupe run, as well as other safe places for them to lay and go broody and when they are due to hatch I set up the cage with food and water and close the cage door. That way I have little ducklings safe from flying predators until they are bigger.
I let them out with Mumma when I can babysit but usually towards the end of the day so they go back in to the cage with mum and I’m not trying to catch them all.
Mum can then get out and stretch her wings, take a bath and I get to see how cute the ducklings are.
@@MoatCottage Thanks so much - we have our first hatch in the "maternity suite" for the time being until they are larger. At what age do you sell/rehome the ducklings? We aren't going to keep them all but not sure how long they should stay with mama. Thanks again!
Hello Rewilding Heart, congratulations on your first hatch, how exciting!
For me it really depends on if the Mother is looking after the ducklings or not.
Some Mums want to care for her babies for only a few (days or) weeks and other Mums can be months.
The ducklings are robust for my (winter) weather and predators at 5 to 6 weeks but if you were giving them to a home that wanted to look after them themselves and have them somewhere safe, warm, where they’re not going to drown in deep water etc, then ducklings can be hand raised, so any time.
Ducklings make life long bonds with the siblings/ other ducks of similar age that they grow up with, so I alway make sure they are with a few friends if I do re- home any. 🐣
Hey so I have a male Muscovy and for some reason he keeps chasing everyone in the household and pecks there feet why does daffy do this?
I do not know as I’m not a duck psychologist, but it could It could be the way he was raised, was he chases or threatened? I certainly wouldn’t tolerate bad behaviour from a well raised Drake and personality have never had any issues. My drakes are fully calm towards all family and friends.
@@MoatCottage well some people said it might be mating season and He has once Been attacked so that also might be a reason thanks for the help!
@@samara-dl9lx mating season for Muscovies is nearly all year around, depending on your climate of course.

This is more like 3 weeks to 2 month growth.
Muscovy ducks do grow super fast and I was sure to capture every day from when they first hatched and were still under Mum duck, right through to 2 months.
