Run square feet per Muscovy?

[tragic59]

Hello,

I'm thinking of getting some 'Scovies, and I'll need to build an enclosed run for them to be in most of the time.

I was wondering if there is a rule of thumb for the number of square feet per bird, similar to the 10 square feet per chicken rule...

I plan to let them out of the run from time to time, but don't want them out unsupervised, so I want the run to be adequate for housing them full time.

Thanks!

10 to 25 square feet per duck according to Holderread's book (Storey's Guide to Raising Ducks).

Thanks!

I need to get a copy of that book.
