Muscovy and snails

[ve]

Hi guys, I've heard that ducks are good for cleaning snails from garden. Are Muscovys too?

 

[jdywntr]

Yup. As long as they aren't huge snails. Also, they may need to realize that they are food.

Thank you

Yes Muscovies are quite the little snail hunters! They seem to love flies as well.

I have quite a bit of bot. That's good news , Thank you very much. I like ducks, but having close neighbors make me think of getting Muscovys instead of ducks.

Muscovy are ducks?

anyways, yes they like them.. if allowed to free range from young i find they will eat them at quite a young age.

You know what I mean Quackers. Actually, I have 6 roosters More than 30 hens- do you think I should worry about one duck screaming in the yard.

Not with 6 roosters... it would probably be considered quiet above those

Mine don't have access to our food gardens, but we collect any/all slugs and snails we find in the yard and toss them to the ducks. They looOove them.
