    I understand that Muschovy Ducks are "Mean"

    and will attack people.. Is this true?? I like the fact that I hear they are 'good brooders' and parents. I don't think they are that ugly.. Would a female get along with Pekins? Where do you get them as young ducks? Thanks All..

    What Do you feed your ducks?

    Hi There My Chicken Raising Family!
