are people owning for meat

Pekins, Rouen, or Cayuga for mallard breeds. Muscovies have a completely different flavor, leaner and more pork-like, and are really good foragers. Depends on what you prefer.

Cayugas are a tad skinnier than some, I've found.. still probably good eating. Most ducks are pretty chunky.
I haven't processed any, though.

Pekin, Silver Appleyard, Rouen.


We get -40, but not those 35* temperatures.
I detest heat, to put it mildly.

The most snow we've gotten in 3 years. It was gone by mid morning. Gotta love beach life.

Mine are massive compared to my Campbells and Runners.

That explains it. The rest of my ducks (except the call) are in the medium to heavy class. Cayugas are light, yes?

Medium class. They were developed to be meat birds.

Thanks. I'm not up to date on my duck information.

I heard that Muscovie are good eating.

that's false. broccoli and other vegetables have more than enough protein. i know it's hard to accept that you are harming animals and i'm sure you will understand once you acquire enough information
