I've started a thread in the meat birds forum about processing muscovys:

If you have a good process, please comment there

I'm just wondering why you think it necessary to clip wings . I have 3 ducks and a drake who are completely free . They take flight now and then and do a circuit of the house but never go any further . They have a good size pond and seem very happy so I don't know why they would . Now one of them has 10 babies and I'm wondering about it . Do birds fly away if not clipped ? Why ?

Muscovy ducks will often fly around, if not away. Though my duck, Cuddles, is extremely tame, she flew to the neighbours. (I got her back) I reccomend that you clip the duckling's wings, but if you are not worried, dont do it. I personally would though.

Would anyone here happen to have some extra muscovy or Muscovy eggs? I lost my drake today due to illness.
