Pekin Duck Club!

@Miss Lydia you have Muscovy ducks, right? I have some important questions I wanna ask you before I get these females
Ask away duckies1230, yes I have Muscovy's 11 yrs now. so excited for you!! don't dare put them outside with out proper fencing they may fly off you'll also need to clip one wing too.

We've had Muscovies for about 6yrs and they've never flown(I think their weight:thrust ratio is off the chart now)...I wish they would though...We had a pair of mixed muscovies that flew and it was so beautiful to see!

These guys are 15+lbs, I'd love to see them airborne!

That was what I was wondering about. The lady I'm getting them from says they really don't fly a lot but they like to perch on things. The more I've been thinking about it the more I'm thinking maybe Muscovy s are not what I should get. I let JoJo run freely outside, no worries, that wouldn't work with them, would, it? And his pen inside, well I say his room, isn't closed in, he isn't caged in at all, he could wander the whole house at any time but he don't. He's such a good boy! My husband would freak if he woke IP in the morning and one duck was on the counter, the other on the kitchen table, and poo everywhere!!!!:gig. Ahhh! Decisions, decisions! It I want them so bad, they are so beautiful! I would email u pics bc I can't transfer them on here but I can forward the email. What's your opinion? What should I do? Get them, or keep searching?

LOL. I'm sorry to laugh since I'm with you on not wanting something like that, but it put a funny image in my mind of getting up in the middle of the night to find ducks roosting on all the high places in my house. That wouldn't happen with mine even if they were house ducks not put away for the night, but I can see a Muscovy deciding to roost on top of a bookcase.
