How big do Muscovies get?

[Bleenie]

I have muscovies & i know this is going to sound dumb BUT...

How big do muscovies usually get when they're full grown?
(Big as in length from head to tail)

I heard somewhere that they can reach up to 6ft in length..is this just a myth??

In all the years we've had them i have never had one that big!

Maybe the 6ft is referring to wing span?

I would say they are referring to wingspan. I bet my big drake Virgil has a wing span close to 6 feet.

Bill to tail tip....I'd say 2+ feet?

Mine is no bigger than my other ducks.

Ive seen drakes 2 1/2 to three feet long. My 5 m/o female is still putting on weight and growing. My 1 1/2 month old drakes are as big as if not slightly larger than she is.

My then 4-5 year old with an almost fully grown boy! they're a little bigger now (both duck and child!

)

This person said that her drake is 4 feet LONG... I've just never heard OR seen one that big!!
