Method for toe trimming and wing tip bone removal in Muscovy ducklings

Muscovy ducks have hard, sharp claws that can easily injure both other ducks and people, so the claws should also be cut off at the same time as beak trimming, using the same method and tools. For breeding ducklings, only the female ducklings are trimmed, not the male ducklings.

To prevent Muscovy ducks from flying, the bone joint at the end of the wing can be removed at 2 or 3 days of age, so that the body loses balance and the bird finds it difficult to fly up off the ground.
