Muscovy ducks don’t quack but I get what you’re saying, I was confused when I got my first few it was only when I read on the internet that they don’t quack (I was their waiting thinking something was wrong with them) :lau:gig
For meat ? If so then go ahead
If you want them for eggs and meat you should probably ask the owner for what sex they are because all the ones in that photo are male
Males can pip at a young age too you know, I’ve had some very questionable ones in the past. The biggest indicator is that the males will hiss and only the males, females only hiss when broody
I sure miss my muscovies but they used to rape my other ducks and they used to attack the chickens...
I have raised Muscovies before from young so I know the differences quit well
Females are smaller and will have have the same structured body as a call duck only they are bigger than call ducks (much bigger)
Males are larger and will have a long structured body
Males have a more masculine...
