Would you keep a muscovie if you wanted a pet duck? I belong to another forum for duck keepers, and a lot of them say muscovies are the best pets out of all the duck breeds. I do not hate them, but I can't see myself in the future loving them either. Muscovies are the "ugly ducks" with the red caruncles. Females have less, and I guess look a little cute. But most...ehh.

I'd probably eat one....
 
it looks like it would attack me when im sleeping. so thats a "no".

buuuuut, if he has a good personality i could probably give in and take him..
 
They do look cool. I take my duck to the park to walk every week. It's a large popular lake. I meet around 30 people a day walking my duck, a quarter of them insult the "ugly deformed male ducks" around the lake. Most people I meet want cute ducks. Not cool ducks. It also breaks my heart that I saw a couple imature teenagers throwing FULL water bottles at the flock of muscovies. Just because they thought they were ugly. Luckily I wasn't walking my duck at the time. And by the time the park ranger got there they already ran off.
 
my grandfather loves those ducks. he has 30 plus. would have more but the LMB in his pond keep eatting the hatchlings. lol. yeah they are that big. they are friendly and quite large
 
They are a popular breed in the Philippines. They must taste good! :drool: :D
