We have a few Muscovy ducks. They appear to be all female. They are constantly in the barn laying, but no babies. I guess if they wanted they could breed with my other ducks.
My White Crested ducklings that I purchased online, once they had their adult feathers I put them in the barn. They were in a fence in the barn to get accustomed to the area. One of our Muscovy ducks mothers them. She takes them out to get a drink and takes them back into the barn. When I was feeding yesterday, Rubi scooted in and the duck went after Rubi, who was just passing through. No one was harmed in this interaction. π€ͺ
Here's a picture of the Muscovy duck herding "her babies" back into the barn. She's in the back. You can only see her head. π
