I need some advice. My drake is coughing. When he starts talking every once in a while it'll sound like he starts choking on his own spit or something.why it this? He's not sick is he?
 
Sometimes when my Scovy ducks get to really talking back and forth in excitement one of my ducks sounds like she coughs, she does it just about every morning when I first let everyone out. If your seeing drainage or not feeling well then I'd separate him. Give him some ACV in his drinking bucket, actually if is good for everyone. 1-2 Tab to 1 gal of water. Make sure the bedding doesn't smell of ammonia and is dry.

Why do people like muscovies... they are kinda weird looking.. is there something I'm missing because to me they are ugly to me... is it their personality or something that makes them great....

For me Muscovies are great, yeah the red stuff on their face seems a bit weird but not all muscovy ducks have alot of bumps on their face, hell mine have none except for the bit at the front. Muscovies are quiet and not loud and they are very playful and love to be around humans. It's very cute watching them go for flies, their eyes get wide and they're so focused on it, it's just really funny.

If you ever search through google images if Muscovies, most of them have alot of bumps on the red part, but honestly not all are like that, they are great mothers and fathers aswell, they'll hatch out anything as far as I know. And when you feed weetbix and they come running at you, it's honestly such a cute thing to witness's they wag their tail and bob their heads and sometimes when the girls see their ducklings for the first time, it looks like their smiling

Honestly. Muscovies are the best ducks to have. I suggest getting one as a baby and growing the baby up until its adult, you'll fall in love with Muscovies after that, just try it :) also they are very different then most normal ducks aswell :)

Reason #1 they are about the only breed of ducks that haven't had the broodyness bred out of them

#2 they do have good personalities

#3 they don't quack so their not very laud the females make peeping sounds the drakes make hissing sounds so you can practically get away with having them in a city
