Muscovies?

[Charlie V.]

I wan to get a few ducks but I don't want a big mess what breed is the best for that? Muscovies ? Calls?

All ducks are messy. I don't think any aren't, so pick what you like. Only keeping a few can minimize the mess

All Ducks are mess makers and super poopers.....If water is on the ground they can turn it into mud in minutes and drill holes...Water is their favourite thing....
If you want Ducks, get what ever breed you like...

Our muscovies are far less messy then the other breeds.
They do not probe in the mud or turn everything into mud like the others. But yes they are still messy compared to other poultry.

My muscovy makes holes all over our yard during the spring in the standing water, so they are good at the drilling too.

I've had both mallard types and muscovies--muscovies are not nearly as crazy about water.
