    Extremely creative and sneaky nest makers

    Does anybody else have a Muscovy hen that will absolutely NOT let anyone know where she is nesting? Her name is Lillie, and she is like Houdini. We have tried following her without being seen, but I swear she is psychic and will stop and go somewhere else and hide, making us believe we have...

    Will a muscovy duck fly away?

    I wanna get some ducks and I want to get a quiet breed. I want to get some Muscovey's since they're quiet breeds but apparently, they're also good flyers, if I get one will it fly away? Has anyone else had issues with their Muscovey's and flying?
