HaleMoa - not really sure how old it is, I had taken my son to the park today to feed the ducks and that is when I seen this one, thought it was a muscovy but was not sure.

I see those for sale here ALL the time.... The ducklings I've seen are cute. Not exactly what I want though

Ha! Pied Muscovy drake! Aren't they precious!? They are actually awesome ducks...very quiet, excellent foragers/mosquito control, prolific layers, excellent broodies and did I mention awesome? Actually, I've also heard the ducks are very good to eat...with a non-gamey taste that is similar to a mild beef, rather than duck or goose.
