    What age to butcher Muscovy ducks?

    Are they very strong flavored? We're raising a few this year for the first time and I'm not sure when to butcher etc. They're only a few weeks old now. I'd like to keep them as slug-eaters through the summer though ;)

    Feeding & Mess

    My turkeys are about 6 weeks old, and they make a HORRID mess with their food! I was out of town for 2 weeks and hubby took care of them for me - however he didn't rake up the mess as often as I did and now there's "a" (probably an entire village) rat in their pen.
