no... thankfully. There are no wacked out mutations of waterfowl that are anything like those Cornish Cross. But those big Pekins will eat you out of house and home just like the Jumbo Cornish...

If u want a nice meaty duck try Muscovies, today I processed 5. Ranging from 3 lbs(female) to 5 lbs. Male and the oldest is only 3 1/2 months

Mine are still living large at a year. The problem with Jumbo Peking would be there fast growth and large body create leg problems. Niacin is a must to add to their diet. I had a few leg problems last year while they were growing out. They were at full weight by 3 months ( can't remember the 2 month mark but I think they were fairly big by that time). Mating season I ended up with a problem of over mating and I blame the size in that instance.

I heard the Muscovy meat was quite dry because there isn't much fat on them, how did you find them?​
