Aren't they pretty

Yes they are. So far Pinball's ducklings have all grown into beautiful ducks: Mrs. Misty, Mr. Leroy Brown, Mr. Drake with no Name and Mr. Rusty from 2020 and then this year Miss Tweedledee and Mr. Tweedledum. Large bodied birds, slender with long legs, standing very upright and with good character. Just too many drakes…

I have a lot of questions about Muscovy ducks:

• Do they sleep on the ground or do they roost?
• Can you have Muscovy and Mallard-derived ducks in one house?
• Are the Muscovy drakes as hormone-driven as the Mallard-derived drakes?
• Are Muscovies aggressive against smaller ducks?

Just for the beginning…

Yes to the first three, and depends on the duck for the fourth.

Do I sense another coming to the Muscovy Nation?

I had them with ducknanger runners and pekin and they all kept to themselves no issues. They are fabulous 95% of the time.

I would already have bought a couple of Muscovy Ducks would there be any seller selling sexed Muscovy ducklings!
Currently the duck-house is (more than) fully occupied with 47 ducks/drakes, it is build to house 45 birds. But i could add a set of roosts or shelves for the Muscovies, so that they can sleep upstairs. Pompom and Violeta Duck sleep on top of the cardboard-boxes already.
