ok this may be a dumb question but my uncle may want my Muscovy duck but there is a raccoon running around lately. Is a raccoon a big threat to a large Muscovy drake? I don't have raccoons around where i live so i'v never had a problem.
 
Yes, they will kill a duck of given half a chance. A raccoon can swim and climb trees to get to them. The Scovy would need a secure house for over night. If the coon is hunting during the day then a secure pen is needed with a top and small wire (1/2"x1/2" hardware cloth) surrounding it.
 
Unfortunately, raccoons are much more powerful than they look and they can take down fairly large prey. So, it's wise to be careful.
