Muscovy

Oh ok then yeah they are not mean at all nice really nice to me but gross and they poop alot

Taste the same as a chicken egg. They make great cakes too ! Mine free range in the yard; they do stay around the farm and do not tend to wander.

I forgot to ask you, how many eggs a week does the Muscovey hen lay ?
Thanks.

Oh and what kind of feed do you give them.

I agree with the first part of your statement, but I must take exception to the second. I have a flock of exhibition quality muscovies along with a ton of free range chickens, three free range dogs and two free range pre-schoolers. We all get along. My ducks eat mealworms from my kids hands.
Love muscovies, no quacking, no musky smell, less mess and for meat, you can just skin them out and cook them like a roast, no plucking! And the meat tastes sublime.

first part agree but not the 2nd part. none of the 5 drakes we have are aggresive but again we handle everyday i have yet to see an aggresive scovy. they are great around both kids and pets. love my scovies

I like the review, mine are just the same, but my males aren´t very aggressive. The ducklings are a joy to watch and I love watching the females fly, I don´t clip any wings and they stay around their home. Juvenile males seem enormous when they take to the wing, adult males don´t manage it, so stick around patrolling the place. A variety of colours, too.

Me too!! Love these ducks! My hang around and I left their feathers so they can protect themselves better. They totally stick around. My drakes are not aggressive at all, just really horny in the spring and relentlessly on the hens! So much fun to have around though, fun to watch, great bug and grub eaters and quiet as can be. I just think you can't go wrong with Muscovies based on my expereince, I am now on second generation and having the ducklings around is so much fun.

Don't forget they are skeeter eaters! Delicious eggs and if not too indelicate to say, their meat is considered a delicacy, beef/veal like in texture and far less greasy than other duck varieties.
Haven't had issue with agressiveness either - but lusty romeos for sure!

We had to trim one of my Mascovy s feathers because we woke up one morning and the was on the roof

sounds like you need to hatch some out so you can tame the babies
when they are still young

Bigbird they need a larger area then
if they can get out & freerange they will not be near your house often
so there will be way less poop

was wondering why you mentioned that the females but not the males when the males also fly. . not as well as the females but they do fly

I just acquired 4 Muscovy ducks. I just love them.

Mine are not at all aggressive to humans. The mothers are protective of their young and would take on a cat or a coon; the coon would kill her anyway but I hope a cat would be coward enough to run from a protective hen duck and leave the ducklings alone. I hate cats, but there is a feral cat, too fast to shoot and too wary to trap, that I fear will hunt my ducks. I haven't been able to kill it, much as I want to.

My Muscovy drakes are all quiet, peaceful birds, not aggressive with each other or anything else. The senior drake is the most personable bird I know, I have no trouble handling him at all, and he's far more intelligent and entertaining than any other poultry I've ever seen.

I don't have any chickens ( don't like them as live birds, just as dinner) so no problem there, but my Muscovy drake is gentle with the she ducks. The younger drakes don't get a chance to breed, as the senior drake shoves his way in and pushes them aside. These are tropical tree ducks, so of course they have claws, it's the nature of the bird, and not a flaw. My Muscovies gave me 500 eggs and two hatches of ducklings last year, and we get 6 eggs a day now.

It wouldn't let me go past three stars

why?
