Our Ducks
About our Special Ducks
They are gentle and very nosy birds unless the female is sitting or has a young brood. Muscovy drakes don't quack, but instead product a low hiss.
The females only make a short, weak quack and this is what makes them the quietest of all the ducks.
They do not swim as much as other breeds because their oil glands are under developed. This means that they do not require a large source of water. The drakes can be quite large weighing 4.5 - 5.5 kg while the females weigh 2-3 kg
We originally purchased 2 female and 2 male Ducks in late 2023. In the Summer of 2024 we let nature take its course and let one of our Female Ducks sit on her eggs and let them hatch. Once hatched we then had 4 extra ducks (1 female and 3 males).
The Ducks have human contact every day and love nothing better than coming over to the fence to meet you. When the ducks wag their tails, this means that they are happy.
