The detail
Muscovies are a Central and South American duck, not related to mallards. They are quiet, can fly and are excellent mothers, and drakes are much larger than hens, which makes them a good meat duck.
What to weigh
Muscovies can fly and need clipped wings or a covered run. Federal and some state rules limit how they can be kept and sold.
