Do you agree that the Muscovy duck is the ugliest duck breed?

So do muscovies have crests? I never thought they did, but now I keep hearing they do

The boys do. Don't think the girls do.

I call it a Mohawk it’s not a crest like a crested duck has or a silkie it’s just feathers.

 

[JacinLarkwell]

Awesome. Now I'm even more excited to hatch some next spring

 

[JacinLarkwell]

What ratios do people suggest for male to female? Or just one male per group period?

 

[Miss Lydia]

I rec only one Muscovy drake unless you can separate them with their own females. My drakes couldn’t be together or they would fight or spend the day chasing each other.

That's what I was thinking. How many females would be a safe amount. I don't know how girl crazy they are

my girls have!

Oh do they? Even better.

I think it's okay with one female and one drake.. obviously, it's not the best and you should have more but I think it's not too bad
I could be completely wrong though,
But my 2 muscovy boys used to have their own girls, they never had a problem with each other and never hurt or overbred the girls, and the girls could easily get away since they fly, but don't risk it with 2 drakes like the others said (Wont be doing this anymore though, I'll be separating all muscovy drakes)
