Muskovies can get that big??

 

[farmgirl3001]

No kidding, so I already have them. I wonder how much they weigh, I can't see Steve, my biggest duck jumping up on the bathroom scale for me.....lol

My old drake who is now 11 probably weighed 15 in his prime, my next oldest at 4 probably close. I'll have to weigh him.

What's the best way to weigh a duck? And that leads me to my next question, what's the lifespan for muscovies?

 

[DUCKOBSESSED]

So what would the largest breed of duck one could get? Would it be the jumbo pekins? DUCKOBSESSED has a couple and they sound like they'd be pretty nice to have, they're lovely

My jumbos are my sweetest ducks.

I have never actually weighed one but i dont think it would be too easy. I can hold my ducks but they dont like to stay still.

Ya, I can see it being a 2 person operation for sure, mine don't like to be picked up either and their claws are really sharp!

I think I'm going to go with the jumbo females as opposed to muscovies, now all I have to do is to hunt some down
