Raising fowl is a rewarding experience in many ways, and Muscovy ducklings are no exception. They can be raised for meat, eggs or simply for the pleasure of watching these feathered friends forage around the yard.The breedMuscovy is the only domestic breed of duck that did not originate from Mallards. Large birds that are typically white or white and black in the wild, they have evolved through domestication to now be available in a wide range of coloration. There are some interesting, unique facts about this type of duck that is different from other breeds; for one thing, they enjoy roosting. As the evening draws to a close, the ducks fly to the fence tops, building rafters or rooftops to roost for the night. They also display a rough looking red “caruncle” around the area of the eyes and beak; a feature that some find endearing, while others consider it to be unattractive.
