Market for muscovy mule hens?

[FCFarms]

I would think this would be something desirable but I can't seem to find anything on it! I love having my ducks BUT because there needs to be a balance of males to females it is important to me to not let them hatch out any eggs. Every now and then one will sneak a nest past me and of course they will almost all be male because that's just how it goes. It would be completely wonderful to have tons of muscovy mule hens, I would have the benefit of having enough females who lay without having to worry about any accidental nests! So why the heck can I not find anywhere that sells mules?!

Start your own.

Lol well I know I could but I don't want to end up with more males! Am I wrong though in thinking that would be something people would want?

If your talking about food them possibility especially if you crossed Pekin/ Muscovy, or farm ducks for bug control someone may go for that.

For me it would just be for laying purposes without the fear of any unexpected ducklings. I don't want to start any business for it, I just thought it would have been something someone would be doing since it would be the perfect way to have ducks with built in population control! Although if someone lives near me and wants to start something with me I might be open to that
