I've read that Muscovy ducks don't quack.

There is an article written by the fellow I bought my chickens from.

The Muscovy Duck

Here is a link to the article.

On his website, it says, "Muscovy ducks have some excellent attributes. They are excellent mothers and can hatch and raise several groups of ducklings every year. They can fly and often perch in trees away from predators. Many people consider them quackless as you rarely hear them. They are unhurried in their movement and slow to excite. Their meat is low in fat and the big males produce a large, meaty breast filet."

Hope this helps you.

Oops, didn't notice that you didn't want Muscovys.

Sorry.

Male call ducks. I had 6 male calls and they were wonderful...beautiful...quiet. My neighbors never knew we had them.
