Ducks around the same size of a muscovy?

[jannakaye]

I need more female ducks and I'm not sure what breed to get. I would like one similar in size to a muscovy. Any ideas?

Do you want a lot of eggs?

 

[Crazy4Fowl]

Also do you want ducks for mating/ hatching eggs or for their looks?

 

[jannakaye]

If possible, yes.

They're mainly pets.

Rouen is a nice breed of duck Pekin is another. Both large breeds like Muscovy. My Scovy females are around 5-6 lbs

If possible, yes.

Are you planing on them mating with a Muscovy? Because that will create a mule duck. But any of the heavy weight ducks would be a good way to go. Pekin, Rouen, saxony. I know there are more but that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

I recommend the golden 300 hybrid ducks if u want a lot of eggs. Their egg production is 250-300 a year. They are good Broody's to for mating and for mothering they got a fair on metzer farms comparing page

They are not that big of a duck. You may want to hold off on the broody vote till you get them.
