    muscovy duck meat, white or dark meat? When and how to butcher?

    I see...I didn't realize the forum already knew about him. There's only a couple videos online of the killing and butchering of muscovy and he's one of them. ETA: I read through the entire thread about his channel and gotta say his ducks are still treated better than ones that are factory farmed.

    muscovy duck meat, white or dark meat? When and how to butcher?

    Muscovy is a red meat similar to veal. I'm raising muscovy for the first time to butcher as well so I don't have advice for you yet...there's a great YouTube channel called 50 Ducks in a hot tub and he shows how he butchers his muscovies. Good luck :)

    Which Hatchery do you recommend?

    I just received some birds from McMurray last week. Super healthy and active little ducks and the customer service was top notch.

    I've used flock raiser from hatch to adult with no problems.

    Muscovy keepers share your pics!

    Thanks! When I brought them back inside they all went right to sleep! Too cute. They're starting to get feathers now, I love this age.

    My trio of muscovy ducklings went outside for the first time today. They loved it. They have a welsh harlequin buddy in their flock.

    Ultimate Duck Breed List

    I also want to add my Campbells and Cayuga were fairly quiet. The Campbells were chatty and my Cayuga quacked every now and then. The Rouen I had was very noisy. DH kept threatening to throw her in a pot.

    Building a Duck House

    This is the one I used to have before we moved. We used sand in the pen and large flat stones near their pool to rinse poop. We had a deep litter system in the coop. It never smelled in the coop but next time I'd like bigger windows. My husband is building a new coop this weekend.

    October Hatch-A-Long

    Hi :) I'd like to join for October. My first hatching eggs arrived in the mail today, they are Welsh Harlequin duck eggs. 5/7 survived without breaking but I realized when I candled them that they all have ruptured/wonky air cells. It's disappointing but I hope I can get some to hatch. They were...

    Combining diff. species in the same space and using the Deep Litter method bedding??????

    We use the deep litter system over here and I love it. We have four ducks who are in their coop from night until the morning. At the end of every week I turn it over with a shovel and smell it to make sure it doesn't smell like ammonia. I've been surprised lately that the bedding has smelled...

    HELP my ducks are dying

    Thank you so much for your responses! We already wanted to have our cayuga necropsied but I didn't realize it was free for SoCal residents. We have her body outside in a styrofoam box now but we'll move her to the fridge. Have you started using a new bag of feed, or a new brand? We are...
