Muscovies ducklings (2-3 weeks of age babies) for sale-$10 each.
They?re self-dependent, better foragers than other ducks, they grow fast and they seldom get sick. Wild Muscovies feed on the roots, stems, leaves, and seeds of aquatic and terrestrial plants, including agricultural crops. They also eat small fish, reptiles, crustaceans, insects, millipedes, and termites, they are food ?hoovers? and quite happily eat small vermin including mice, rats and even snakes.
Although relatively silent, the male produces a low hissing sound, and the female has a short, weak ?quack.? but ?chirps? and talks to the eggs as they hatch making the babies very independent as they recognize their mothers? alarm call.
Muscovies lay up to 4 clutches of eggs per year, and are superb mothers and brooders. They will protect the young from predators even if it means their own life in order for the young to escape. Keep as a pair or 1 male to 3 females.
Birds reach full size in 120 days, but can be slaughtered after 90 days. The meat of the Muscovy is unlike that of the other domestic ducks. It is not greasy and is much more like veal than like poultry.

Uses: fine down, meat (fine texture, very little fat, and a unique and delicious flavour), foie gras and eggs.
