I've scanned 2 Muscovy books and searched all the way to the end of the internet and still have questions. I'm retired, have time & some $$, (think auto door, feeder, outside motion lights, ect..) to invest in preparation for these ducks, but need to get a starting idea of what might work. My goal is for pet ducks yet may eventually take the drakes for meat for population control. Next month the 110 ft X 90 ft pond is getting renovated with a dozer and packer.
Q? A mid pond coop is probable. Would a 3 sided coop, armed with coon cage traps and motion sensors to alert me, be likely to work? If not, will Muskies train to enter a closed from dusk to dawn coop? (1-2 annual is an acceptable loss)
Even partial answers would help. Thanks
