Broad breasted whites are turkeys.

You may be right.

Donation to a zoo is a great idea! Waterfowl carry pox. They don't die from it. Mosquitoes bite the ducks, then they bite the chickens, and the chickens get sick.

Birds that arrive at the processing plants that are already dead do not get processed and sold to the public. Good grief!

Copper2, maybe you should help the OP save money and go right on over and trap the ducks. You can let us know how well they do in your oven! I agree it seems like a terrible waste of meat, but I am not sure I would want to eat them...... not knowing what is along them and all!

The ducks have already made her chickens sick. The best thing for the ducks is to be euthanized. There is no sense in rehoming them to make someone else's flock sick. Some times the tough solution is the only one.

Call animal control. It is their job to inform your neighbors that the ducks must stay home. If the neighbors tell animal control that the ducks don't belong to them, then you have free reign to take care of the problem!!

I was afraid that DNR would not be any help, since Muscovies are not wild.

DNR will probably not get involved since these are a domestic feed of ducks. Unfortunately, electric fencing will probably not help either. Muscovies can fly rather well. When you turn your chickens out to free range, pick your feeders up. If the ducks are going in the chicken house...

The OP stated there were 8 Muscovy ducks on the pond. The neighbor fed them during breeding season. I don't see mention of any wild breeds of duck in those two sentences.......

Unless I misread the first post, Muscovy is the breed of duck being discussed. They are not wild ducks. Tractor Supply sells an economically priced trap that would work for trapping them. Have you asked your neighbor to please keep his ducks on his property?
