Has anyone had any experience with housing Muscovy ducks with any Mallard duck breeds. I currently have a variety of ducks and I am considering adding a couple of Muscovy females to the flock. I have read a lot about the Muscovy, but everyone seems to just have a flock of only Muscovy or houses them with chickens. Since the Muscovy have sharper claws, I am worried they could hurt the other ducks in the coop at night. The smallest breed I have is the welsh harlequin. Anyone have any experience with this?
Also,I know the Muscovy are very broody and great mothers, but I really don't want ducklings. I just want them as pets. Do they have a problem with you taking their eggs more so than the Mallard breeds?
