I have seen a lot of duck clubs, but none on this awesome looking duck!! Who doesn’t like Muscovys? I thought I would start one, that way we can learn from others, share pictures, storys, etc.


How I got into to them:

I have just recently got into this breed and love them already. I was given a brown barred drake and he needed hens ASAP so I got two duckling for him...well the day I got the ducklings he flew away to ponds near by (still have not caught him). Anyway, as the ducklings grew one turned out to be a male soo...I have been on the search for hens and and after a while (contacting a good bit of people who would not get back to me about the hens) got 5 other Muscovy hens for my big boy! I’ll post pictures later :)
 
We have Muscovy ducks and love them. We hatched some but the drakes turned out to be horrible. Two were sold and one we butchered. The two girls were alright and we bought two more girls for company. I collected some of the new girls eggs as they'd been with drakes and the people we got them from culled any aggressive birds, but only one egg ended up hatching (most of their eggs were double yolkers). He was raised by our bantam hen and he has turned out to be the sweetest drake ever. Now that he's matured he comes up to us for attention and even squats when we pat him. Even our son can pick him up easily. His name is Trouble (his mother was always telling him off for playing in the water so the name stuck 🤣).

lol. That’s cool! What colors do you have?
 
I know there are tons of muscovy owners on this site. There are some that prefer them over the mallard breeds. Granted cute photos of ducks does lure people in.
