Best duck breeds for flies

[hereorthere]

Best at hunting flies and mosquitoes that I have had are muscovies.

And don't forget the stinkbugs!

I definitely agree with muscovy being good fly catchers. I personally have not seen mine eat them. However I had a lot of flies around my coop. We made some changes to reduce flies, but adding muscovy definitely reduced the number I see.

Just got some ducks, not Muscovys. Dad surprised me with them, he said they are bantam ducks. They look like mallards, and they are gorgeous!!

Here they are, the one in the middle is the mother, on the left is the son, and the right is the girl. They all love standing near the young Minorca pen for some reason

Muscovys!!! They spot flies they put there heads down tails up and charge until they get them.... I love watching my scovies fly hunting especially the ducklings they are so determined and focused... until they see a butterfly or their reflection in the pond....

They could be Campbell’s... the look too small for mallards from my experience
