Muscovy keepers share your pics!

Any idea how to keep my muscovies off the deck? I love every aspect of them except this one--they insist on sitting right outside of the door to the deck and poop. They free range when I'm home. I usually chase them off with a light up pool noodle (it's the only thing they seem to be terrified of) but a few hours later they're back again.

We laid pvc pipe in front of our shop door. They wouldn't go anywhere near it! I mean they stayed 10 feet away and watched it like it was going to jump up and get them. Guess they thought it was a white snake! LOL

Mine will run when I begin pulling the blk hose around they know a black snake when they see one. lol

Has anyone ever tried letting a muscovy raise chicks? I have a broody muscovy duck and ayam cemani chicks due to hatch on Friday lol.

Honestly my muscovy's are my most tame birds besides my sweet hen I lost this morning :-(

So last week I added two new ducks to my blue Muscovy flock. One is an adult white headed blue female, and the other is a young blue Muscovy duckling. The duckling was hatched June 5th, 2017. I can't tell if it's a male or female. Hoping male.
Any thoughts?

To anyone who has questioned whether to eat your muscovy ducks or not.... Eat!! I love them, but they are delicious. Like steak. I'm going for the whole"self reliant" thing. We butchered some meat chickens and 1 duck I bought as a ling that ended up being a drake. He tasted so good. Meanwhile, all my hens are broody. 2 sets of babies here. I will be putting them in the freezer.

Those are some really cute Muscovy ducklings! I agree they do taste yummy! But I can't eat my lovely's! So I buy pre-butchered Muscovy's from a local seller!

We have 4 extra boys and 2 of my girls are broody again so I think we are going to butcher them. Trying not to watch them or learn their personalitys!
