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

[cassandrapettersson]

I think muscovies are beautiful and elegant ducks. I have a drake and a hen right now. The drake is hilarious and adorable. The hen looks to smart for her own good.

My hens *are* to smart for their own good

I dont like moscovies because they are not real ducks.

They are real ducks just not Mallard derived. And to me that makes them even more special they are their own true species.

Still not a fan they are very invasive

 

[Miss Lydia]

Not their fault. People who have them need to keep them at home, Many fly off and that starts the overpopulation. Clipping a wing is the best way to avoid them doing this.
Also being selective when hatching. I don't let my Muscovy hatch anytime the want if I did I'd have hundreds.

She’s beautiful! I like the ones with smooth faces and/or not much red like her

Can’t stand when there’s too many lumps. I agree it looks like tumors or a rash or something.

Females usually don't have much carnucles. I can't hardly look at show Muscovy drakes for some reason those judges like for them to have so much carnucles the poor drake can hardly see. My Boy Opie Dolly in the nest box.
