My husband and I are considering getting ducks in the next year or so. We do live in a suburban neighborhood, so the Muscovies really appealed to me due to the low amount of noise. Our neighbors are pretty much rightthere (i.e., I can see into all of their windows). Everyone's been very nice and supportive about all of our sustainability projects, but I wouldn't want to push things.
Anyways, we have a fenced-off side yard area that is a bit over 180 sq ft. How much space do muscovies need? They'd be in there most of the day, and let out to the rest of the yard for 1-3 hours every day.
And how well do they fly with their wings clipped? We have 6 foot fences all around, and a 4 foot gate at the side yard.
There's a muscovy that lives at a pond down the street. It is sooo pretty, and I'd love to get some, but by all means, feel free to let me know if I'd be better off with another breed.
Thanks!
