Muscovy ducks and Mammoth muscovy ducks

[Poultry man123]

I Have heard of mammoth muscovy ducks and I would like to know some more information about them and their differences to the normal muscovys.

I've never heard of this, the only thing I would think it was would be the difference between a male and a female, since males can be absolutely humongous...

I agree with @Canadian Wind and would add that a cross Muscovy might turn out to be bigger than the average duck. For instance a Jumbo Pekin hen x Muscovy drake.

well I have only really heard of mammoth muscovys at poultry auctions so it might also just be something auctioneers say.

Mammoth Muscovies are just larger sized Muscovies, bred in Australia, I believe. If you do a google search, there are many thread on the topic on BYC. Here is one I found from a few years ago: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/who-has-mammoth-white-muscovy-ducks.816696/

My Muscovy Drake mated with my Rouen Hen and my Mule Duck is the largest Duck in my pen now. The Muscovy Drake was huge and I would have considered him to be a Mammoth duck. The Mule duck is almost as big as the Drake was but not quite, she is a Hen.
