I vote for muscovy ducks instead
We bought some muscovies last fall from Maribeth and they've been laying very well. We have our first ducklings to hatch a few days ago! We should have some available for sale at POOPS if the next batch is as successful as this was. So far, fertility has been 100%, but some stopped developing part way. Muscovy ducks are big and don't make much noise. Well, they will hiss at you when they want you to leave them alone! Oh, and when Gerald empties the mouse traps, they love the extra protein!
do you have any problem with them flying?? have heard that is a problem with them....
Robin we had a pair of Scovies and when I would let them out of the pen in the morning the hen would take flight. She would fly in circles gaining altitude until she was just a speck in the sky and then she would come back down and land in the same spot she took off from. Then she would shake all over, wag her tail a few times and go about her business. That was the only flying she would do.
